2006 WHEAT CROP REVIEW

Crop Development

Progress of the 2006 wheat crop followed an unusual pattern. Planting and emergence were close to the pace of recent years, but pulled ahead in the last two weeks of October. Jointing began at the average time in late March, but soon began to pull ahead of the average pace, much like last year. Most of the wheat crop was jointed by late April, significantly earlier than the 5-year average. Heading was particularly early, after a warm spell in April. Nearly three quarters of the wheat crop had headed by the first week in May, 40% more than in previous years. The early development of the crop continued through maturation and harvest. Harvest was essentially complete by the July 4 holiday.

The condition of the 2006 wheat crop reflected constantly changing soil moisture availability and temperatures. The first reports in late October indicated that roughly 70% of the crop was rated as either good or excellent. Steadily decreasing soil moisture over the winter months was reflected in a similar decline in crop condition until late March, when only about a quarter of the crop was rated as good or excellent. Late-March precipitation led to a short-term improvement in crop condition, but hot, dry weather followed by freezing temperatures in mid to late April caused further deterioration in crop condition. Crop condition continued to decline until early June, when only 16% of the wheat acres were rated as good or excellent, and 53% were rated as poor to very poor, leaving 31% in the fair category. Crop condition rebounded somewhat with June precipitation, but the effect of these late-season rains on final yield varied greatly. (Crop-Weather reports, Kansas Ag. Statistics)

Weather

The 2005-06 wheat season was characterized by uneven conditions, both in temperature and precipitation. While some locations saw a wet start to the season, with precipitation more than three inches above normal, other locations saw an extremely dry start to the winter. Overall, the winter was mild and dry, with many locations having the driest December-to-February period on record. March saw a brief respite for the hardest hit regions, with a timely snowfall in southwestern Kansas. The moisture did not continue, and the western third of the state averaged less than 40% of normal April rainfall. Injury from the moisture deficit was compounded by a freeze on April 26 and 27, when low temperatures dropped as low as 26 °F, and stayed below freezing for several hours.

The uneven rainfall pattern continued through May and June. Some locations received sufficient quantities, while locations only a few miles away were much below normal. This contributed to the uneven yields within counties and across the state. Major hail storms on March 12, March 30, April 15, April 23, and May 7 also contributed to yield reductions in a few locations.

The continued warmer-than-normal conditions and generally dry weather allowed harvest to progress much more rapidly than normal. More than 90% of the harvest was completed by the 1st of July. (Mary Knapp, K-State Weather Data Library).

Diseases

“Dry” would be the best way to sum up the 2006 Kansas wheat crop. How did the dryness affect the wheat disease situation? Two of our traditional disease problems, leaf rust and stripe rust, were well below long-term averages. Stripe rust barely showed up at all, and leaf rust developed only late in the season on susceptible varieties, much too late for significant yield loss. The lack of rust is attributable primarily to the extreme drought in southern Texas, which serves as the annual breeding ground for rust spores.

Incidence of most other common foliar diseases, including tan spot and speckled leaf blotch, was below normal as well, once again due to the dry weather early in the spring. One exception was powdery mildew, which reached moderate levels in some fields planted to susceptible varieties in the eastern half of the state. Some fields were sprayed with fungicides to control this disease.

By far the most significant disease problems were caused by viruses, including barley yellow dwarf virus, wheat streak mosaic virus, and high plains virus. The severity of these diseases is attributed to increased volunteer left growing last fall as farmers tried to reduce fuel costs, and an extended period of warm weather that lasted well into November in parts of the state. This warm weather allowed the vectors of the virus diseases, aphids for barley yellow dwarf and curl mites for wheat streak mosaic and high plains, to feed and transmit the virus well beyond the Hessian fly free date, which normally is used as a planting guide to limit damage from the virus diseases. (K-State Extension Plant Pathologist, Doug Jardine).

Insects

The 2006 wheat crop statewide had relatively few insect problems. In late fall and early winter, there was considerable concern relative to greenbugs and bird cherry oat aphids migrating into Kansas from Oklahoma. Some damage and spraying did occur, primarily in the southern third of the state, but aphid effects overall were relatively minor. There was, however, considerable barley yellow dwarf, which is vectored by greenbugs and bird cherry oat aphids, and some wheat streak mosaic, which is vectored by wheat curl mites, throughout the state. Scattered problems with Hessian flies were noted, especially in south-central Kansas. Timely destruction of volunteer wheat will help reduce the incidence of these diseases by reducing the over-summering habitat of the aphids, wheat curl mites, and Hessian flies.

Scattered reports of wheat head army worms also were received in south central Kansas. Worms were noticed only during harvest, and some damaged kernels were noted by grain inspectors. This insect is generally confined to border

rows and, thus, the worms and damage usually affect only the first loads, as fields are “opened up”. (K-State Extension Entomologist, Jeff Whitworth).

Harvest Statistics

The Kansas Agricultural Statistics’ July 12 estimate of the 2006 crop was 300.8 million bushels from 9.4 million acres, with a 32 bushels/acre yield average. These are significant decreases from last year’s crop and, except for harvested acres, are well below the averages for the past 10 years.

Acreage Distribution

Jagalene replaced Jagger as the variety planted on the most acres in Kansas in 2006. Jagger fell to the second spot, and 2137 fell to fourth place, with only 3.1 of the statewide acreage. Overley jumped from 8th place in 2005 to 3rd in 2006, with a 13.1% increase in acres. For the first time since 1998, more than two varieties were planted on greater than 10% of the Kansas wheat acres. Hard white varieties occupied 1.7% of the 2006 wheat acreage, down from 4.9% in 2004. The acreage of blends decreased in 2006 to 10% from a high of 15.2% in 2004.

2006 PERFORMANCE TESTS

The Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station annually compares both new and currently grown varieties in the state's major crop-producing areas. These performance tests generate unbiased performance information designed to help Kansas growers select wheat varieties suited for their area and conditions.

Varieties

Public varieties are selected for inclusion in the tests on the basis of several criteria. Most represent new or established varieties with potential for successful use in Kansas. Some are included as long-term checks. Others are entered at the request of the originating institution.

Originators or marketers enter privately developed varieties on a voluntary basis. Entrants choose both the entries and test sites and pay a fee to help defray test expenses. The 2006 private entrants are listed in Table 1. Eleven entrants provided a total of 37 varieties for testing.

Table 13 describes the characteristics of seed submitted for testing. Seed quality, including such factors as size, purity, and germination, can be important in determining the performance of a variety. Wheat seed used for entries in the Kansas Crop Performance Tests is prepared professionally and usually meets or exceeds Kansas Crop Improvement Certification standards. Performance of a given variety comparable to that obtained in these tests is best assured under similar environmental and cultural conditions and with the use of certified or professionally prepared seed.

Environmental Factors

Winter and spring drought, a late-April freeze, or hail influenced most of the performance tests to some extent. Five locations had to be abandoned in 2006. The continuous-wheat test at Caldwell had poor stands because of a combination of dry fall weather and low pH. The new irrigated test at Dodge City suffered from herbicide carry-over and rabbit feeding. Drought conditions caused extreme variation in the dryland test there, making it unusable. Both tests at Colby were hit by a hard freeze in late April and by a severe hail storm just before harvest. Freeze and hail damage influenced yields more than variety performance did in those tests.

The surviving tests suffered from some of the same conditions. Tests in central and northeast Kansas performed better than expected in light of the dry season. The tests in southeastern Kansas had severe barley yellow dwarf virus. Most plants in those tests lost primary tillers during the dry winter and spring, stimulating late secondary tillers that delayed harvest and introduced additional variability. Site descriptions and management practices for each site are summarized in Table 4. Be sure to keep extenuating environmental conditions in mind when examining test results.

Results and Variety Characterization

Results from Kansas tests are presented in Tables 4 through 12. Yields are reported as bushels per acre (60 pounds per bushel) adjusted to a moisture content of 13%, where moistures were reported at harvest. Yields also are converted to percentages of the test average to speed recognition of highest yielding entries. Multi-year averages are presented for those varieties entered more than one year. One-year or one-location results can be misleading because of the possibility of unusual weather or pest conditions.

Additional information, such as test weight, heading date, and plant height, is helpful for fine-tuning variety comparisons. For example, a relatively tall variety may yield well in the tests, but may not be appropriate for some situations. Conversely, some producers may want a tall variety for straw production. Planting varieties with a range of maturities helps minimize weather risks.

At the bottom of each table is the (0.05) LSD (least significant difference) for each column of replicated data. One can think of the LSD as a "margin of error" that shows how big the difference between two varieties must be for one to be 95% confident that the difference is real. The use of the LSD is intended to reduce the chance of overemphasizing small differences. Small variations in soil structure, fertility, water-holding characteristics, and other test-site characteristics can cause considerable yield variation among plots of one variety.

Performance Summaries

Figures 3 through 10 summarize the performance of each variety standardized to the average of two widely grown, check varieties: Jagger and 2137. The number at the base of each bar indicates the number of direct comparisons with the check varieties. In general, as the number of comparisons increases, the reliability of a value increases. Values that differ significantly from the average of the two check varieties are indicated by a + or – at the end of the bar.
