The FAR cultivar evaluation booklet continues to highlight the performance of new cultivars entering the industry. There are five new feed barley cultivars in the spring barley trials this year. Of these Summit and NFC406-112 are showing above average yields. Jimpy, a newer malting cultivar is consistently out yielding the competition and has gained a significant place in the market.
Overall spring barley yields for 2010-11 were close to the 4 year mean in the southern North Island (7.3 t/ha) and Southland (8.9 t/ha). However, the yield in Canterbury was back on the 4 year mean at 6.9 t/ha compared with 7.5 t/ha reflecting the hot and dry season.
introduction and welcomeThree of the new milling wheats Majestic, CRWT151 and CRWT161 appear promising with above average yields and good grain quality characteristics.
One of the regular trial sites (Chatton spring wheat) is not reported due to bird damage.
FAR welcomes any queries or suggestions to further improve these booklets, or if you require any additional information that we have not included please contact us.

KAIRANGA
Kairanga silt loam, DrylandTrial operator: Kevin Sinclair, Plant & Food ResearchHost farmer: Brian Saunders
The trial established well after planting in a crop of Raffles on 23 October 2010 following pasture. The trial received 195 kg N/ha in three applications, one pre sowing. The herbicide programme consisted of an application of Glean and Agritone in November and Puma S in December. There were two fungicide applications using Proline on the first application in November and an Amistar/Proline combination for the second application in December. The trial had good establishment and received good rainfall over the summer. The trial was harvested on 3 March 2011.
DARFIELD
Templeton silt loam, IrrigatedTrial operator: Ross Hanson, Plant & Food ResearchHost farmer: Cameron Adams
On 3 August 2010, the trial was sown into a paddock of Saracen following a season of peas and wheat. A total of 185 kg N/ha was applied over the season in three applications. Two herbicide applications were completed using a Trimec/Quantum combination and MCPA. Karate aphicide was applied twice in October and a fungicide programme including Stellar and Amistar covered two applications. A PGR application was made in October. The trial received a total of 180 mm of irrigation in four split applications. The trial established well but succumbed to some wind damage. It was harvested on 10 February 2011.
METHVEN
Lyndhurst silt loam, DrylandTrial operator: Gerrard Pile, Plant & Food ResearchHost farmer: Ross Richards
The trial was sown in a crop of Conquest on 3 August 2010. Previously, the paddock was in radish following barley. This trial received 96 kg N/ha in two applications, one pre drilling. Cougar and Glean were applied in October to control weeds. The aphicide Mavrik was applied in October and the fungicide Accuro was applied in October. The trial was harvested on 20 February 2011.

34 sowing rate calculationinformation can be gained from ‘stress tests’ and ‘vigour tests’. These test results are not usually available but should hopefully be on request. Experience certainly helps when deciding on this figure.
Examples of emergence % could be:
• June sown: 80% emergence• July sown: 75% emergence (assumes maybe poorer quality seedbed, sown too deep, cold soil conditions)• August - October sown: 80-90% emergence (assumes soil moisture availability and increasing soil temperatures)
Examples:
SPRING WHEAT A wheat sample 1000 seed wt = 45gB % germination = 90%C % emergence = 90%D target plant density = 250pl/m2
E required sowing rate is 139kg/ha
SPRING BARLEYA barley sample 1000 seed wt = 40gB % germination = 90%C % emergence = 85% D target plant density = 225pl/m2
E required sowing rate is 118kg/ha
The calculation can be transformed to determine the actual emergence % achieved (useful if poor establishment):
The actual plant population needs to be counted in the field (rod or quadrat methods) for the above calculation, whilst TGW, sowing rate and germination % are figures that were known at drilling.
This calculation uses several variables to give an accurate answer for suggested sowing rates.
To use the calculation you will need to know the following:• the plant population you want to establish for your crop,• the thousand grain weight of the seed,• the germination percentage (%) of the seed,• the expected crop emergence – this is determined by time of sowing, seed quality and management factors (e.g. seed treatment, sowing depth, seed-bed quality).
The steps to follow are:
THOUSAND GRAIN WEIGHTIf using certified seed, the value for thousand grain weight (TGW) should be available on the seed bag or on request. If you need to calculate it for yourself, the number of seeds you will need to count will depend on the accuracy of your scales. Make sure your seed sample is representative of the whole line.i. If you have scales that will weigh to 0.1g, count 200 seeds, weigh them and multiply the weight by 5 to get 1000 seed weight.ii. If not, count and weigh 1000 seeds.
GERMINATION PERCENTAGE (%)This should also be on the bag label or on request. A purity & germination (P&G) test figure is usually quoted. Germination tests determine the maximum germination potential of a given seed line. Under certain conditions in the field it is often noted by producers that the laboratory germination result overestimates seedling emergence. Although there are many factors that may influence the final plant population, the observed differences are also a result of the physiological quality of a particular seed line and its tolerance to stress. Caution is advised as the germination figure does not equate to the percentage of seeds expected to emerge in the field.
EMERGENCE PERCENTAGE (%)Emergence percentage is an estimate based on actual emergence in the field. Further
SOWING target plant population (p/m2) RATE = x TGW (g) x 100 (kg/ha) % germination x % emergence
% actual plant population (p/m2) EMERGENCE = x TGW (g) x 100 sowing rate (kg/ha) x % germination
page

ISSUES FOR SUCCESSFULESTABLISHMENT(in no particular order)SEEDBED: A trashy seedbed may reduce seed/soil contact, thereby reducing germination, while a compacted seedbed may restrict emergence. A seedbed with large clods may also force emerging seedlings to become deformed (and therefore weakened) in their attempt to emerge.
SOWING DEPTH: Sown too shallow, seed may be subject to bird damage and susceptible to drying out. If sown too deep, young plants will struggle to emerge and may be weak and therefore prone to disease or may become deformed. Check that your drill is placing seed at its optimum depth. This is also important when considering residual herbicides since some products require a minimum planting depth.
NUTRITION AND MOISTURE: Plant roots follow the easiest path for growth, so nutrition should be placed near the roots. Some fertilisers will, however, “burn” seedlings, so they must be placed out of direct contact with the seed. Moisture is essential for seed germination. Once germinated, the young seedling is also very fragile and may dry out rapidly if there is insufficient moisture in the root zone. Too much moisture (waterlogging) will mean oxygen starvation, which will lead to germination failure or seedling death.
WEEDS, DISEASES AND PESTS: Weeds will compete with the crop for light, moisture and nutrients. Weeds may potentially be more of a problem in thinly sown (or poorly established) crops. The main disease problem for emerging seedlings is fungi affecting the new roots but these are more likely to occur in a cool, damp environment, when seedlings are less vigorous and therefore more prone to attack. Seed treatment with fungicides may be beneficial if seed-borne diseases are a concern, but these treatments may also delay crop emergence. A wide range of pests can cause problems - slugs, weevils, grass grubs, etc. If these are present, control options need to be evaluated.
TIME OF SOWING: Crops sown in the early autumn or late spring, when soil temperatures are warm and moisture is (hopefully) ideal, should mean rapid germination and a high emergence rate of seedlings. The autumn sown crops will also have more opportunity to tiller, so sowing rates will need to take this into account.
SOWING RATES IN GENERAL FORWINTER/SPRING SOWINGSNote: for most recent trial results relating to sowing rates for autumn sown wheat, see FAR Arable Updates Cereals Nos. 129, 130, 135, 153.
Generally establishment targets are:• June 200 plants/m2
• July 200 plants/m2
• August 200 plants/m2
• September 250 plants/m2
• October 300 plants/m2

SEED QUALITY
High quality seed has:• < 10% Fusarium/Microdochium;• > 95% germination; • > 40g TSW; • low abnormals;• good vigour.
Vigour 1 = poor, 5 = excellent
A Reasonable line, fusarium mostly controlled with treatment, abnormals increased slightly after treatment indicating some seed damage.
B Reject, abnormals increased after treatment indicating some seed damage, vigour not sufficient, treated germination not sufficient.
C Reject, fusarium extremely high even though mostly controlled with treatment.
D Reject, abnormals increased after treatment indicating some seed damage.
E Reasonable line with good vigour.
F Reject, fusarium extremely high even though mostly controlled with treatment, however abnormals increased after treatment indicating some seed damage.
NOTE:• It is suggested that 60% of abnormals will emerge. However be aware that these plants have low tillering capacity. • Remainders are seeds which don’t germinate.

PATHOGEN THRESHOLDSGuidelines for seed-borne disease thresholds based on NIAB (UK) and NZ experiences:
• If < 10% Fusarium Microdochium or 5% Drechslera infection sow untreated seed before 1 May or after 1 October.• Treat if sowing after 1 May or before 1 October.• All seed should be treated if the cereal follows maize as Fusarium risk is higher.• Zero threshold exists for loose smut & barley seed-borne mosaic virus. Seedlines with loose smut will be rejected from certification and uncertified seed must be treated. . • Seed treatments may not be needed on high quality seed (seed quality details should be freely available from seed merchant) and if the seedline is not repeatedly sown without treatment.SEED TREATMENT STRATEGIES
CONSIDERATIONS:• In damaged (e.g. cracked) seed all products have the potential to reduce establishment and, in severe cases, yield. Raxil then Vitaflo are the least likely to delay emergence of damaged seed. Delayed emergence may be critical for late autumn sowings.• Vitaflo or Raxil control low Fusarium levels but MBC is needed for higher levels.• Ideally, reject seedlines which test over 20-25% Fusarium and/or with a P&G germination of < 85%. However, seasonal conditions will impact on availability of seed with these levels.• Seed treatments do not reduce the incidence of Fusarium head blight in the crop.
INSECTICIDEGaucho and Poncho are the only registered insecticide seed treatments, providing some control of aphids and grass grub. They should provide control of aphids up until the plant reaches GS13/21 or as the first tiller is appearing. Poncho is also registered for use in wheat for control of grass grub and argentine stem weevil.
Reminder: in spring sown cereals, aphicides do not give the same length of protection as autumn treatments due to the accelerated growth rates of the crop and thus increased rates of product breakdown.
Additionally, pressure on crops from flying aphids is also greater in spring crops, thereby increasing the importance of pest management.

Protein % The protein content is obtained by measuring the nitrogen (N) content and using a conversion factor to calculate the protein %. The conversion factors in this booklet are N x 5.7 for all wheat and N x 6.25 for all barley. Some feed wheat users choose to use N x 6.25. To convert the wheat protein from 5.7 to 6.25 use a conversion factor of 1.096 x protein %.
Falling number An indicator of sprouting if scores are low, falling number (FN) is an indirect measure of alpha-amylase levels in the grain with low FN indicating high alpha-amylase activity. FAR does not test falling number on feed wheat, only milling wheats.
Screenings % Percentage of small grains, weed seeds and foreign matter which pass through a 2.0 mm rotoscreen.
4 year adjusted mean
A “4-year adjusted mean” is a mean over trials in the last 4 years. This mean has been adjusted statistically to take account of the absence of some cultivars in some trials (for example, if a cultivar was missing from an especially high-yielding trial, it would otherwise be unfairly disadvantaged). This adjustment enables fair comparisons between cultivars within each site and region.
Limited data For newer cultivars which we have only evaluated for one or two years, we may not have sufficient disease or agronomic observations to feel confident about the data presented. In this case the data is given in brackets ( ).
Relative yield Yields relative to a base 100 are given where 100 is the average yield across all cultivars. These relative yields make it easier to compare sites which may differ widely in mean yields.
LSD The “Least Significant Difference”, or LSD, is used to compare the mean yields of two cultivars. The difference in yield between two cultivars must be greater than the LSD for those two cultivars to be proven different (statistically at P=0.05). For example, if the LSD is 0.8, a difference between two cultivars of 0.5 is not ‘proven’, while a difference of 1.2 is proven.
CV% The “Coefficient of Variation”, or CV%, is another measure of the variability in a trial. If the differences between cultivars are similar across all replicates, the trial CV% is low (<10%) and the LSD is low (both desirable). If the trial CV% is high (>10%), there is a high level of unexplained variation, and the trial results are less accurate.
Stripe rust Disease caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici.
Leaf rust Disease caused by Puccinia recondite f.sp. tritici (wheat); Puccinia hordei (barley).
Septoria leaf blotch Disease caused by Septoria tritici, (perfect stage Mycosphaerella graminicola).
Powdery mildew Disease caused by Erysiphe graminis f.sp. tritici.
Fusarium head scab Disease caused by Fusarium spp.
