PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL
FORAGES IN ILLINOIS
THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS commercial forage testing
program has been testing public and private forages for over 5 1
years. The initial purpose was to evaluate the many public
varieties available, today public varieties are far out numbered
by private varieties. This year 44 seed companies are
participating in the 2002 trials.
The purpose of this commercial forage testing program
is to provide unbiased, objective, and accurate testing of all
varieties entered. The tests are conducted on as uniform a soil
as is available in the testing area. Small plots are used to reduce
the chance of soil and climatic variations occurring between one
variety plot and another.
The results of these tests should help you judge the
merits of varieties in comparison with other private and public
varieties. Because your soils and management may differ from
those of the test location, you may wish to plant variety strips of
the higher-performing varieties on your farm. The results
printed in this circular should help you decide which varieties to
try.
TEST PROGRAM
Selection of entries Forage producers in Illinois and
surrounding states were invited to enter varieties in the 2002
Illinois forage performance trials. Entrants were required to
provide seed in a commercially available container to the
University of Wisconsin for distribution to other public testing
programs. This is to ensure performance is not affected by seed
source and to avoid each entrant the cost of sending a
commercial bag of seed to each program.
To help finance the testing program, a fee of $450 per
location per 4 years was charged for each variety entered by the
seed producer. Most of these varieties are commercially
available, but some experimental varieties were also entered. A
total of 140 varieties were tested in 2002.
Number and location of tests In 2002, tests were conducted at
5 locations throughout the state (see map on pg. 4). These sites
represent the major soils and dairy producing areas of the state.
Field plot design Entries of each test were replicated four times
in a randomized complete block. Plot size was 23 feet by 3 feet
and end trimmed at each harvest to obtain a 1 9 foot long plot.
Fertility and weed control All test locations were managed at
a high level of fertility for each crop. Herbicides were used at
all test locations for weed control.
Method of planting and harvesting All trials were seeded with
a five row seeder modified to accommodate small plot seeding.
Plots were seeded at 1 8 pounds per acre. Harvests were taken
with a custom built flail chopper equipped with electronic data
gathering equipment.
PERFORMANCE DATA
Yield Forage yield is reported in tons dry matter per acre.
Yields were converted to a dry matter basis by estimating
percent moisture within each tnal.
SUGGESTIONS FOR
COMPARING ENTRIES
It IS impossible to obtain an exact measure of
performance when conducting any test of plant material.
Harvesting efficiency may vary, soils may not be uniform, and
many other conditions may produce variability. Results of
repeated tests are more reliable than those of a single year or a
single-strip test. When one variety consistently out yields
another at several test locations and over several years of testing,
the chances are good that this difference is real and should be
considered in selecting a variety.
As an aid in comparing alfalfa varieties within a single
trial, certain statistical tests have been devised. One of these
tests, the least significant difference (L.S.D.), when used in the
manner suggested by Carmer and Swanson' is quite simple to
apply and is more appropriate than most other tests. When two
entries are compared and the difference between them is greater
than the tabulated L.S.D. value, the entries are judged to be
"significantly different."
The L.S.D. is a number expressed in tons dry matter per
acre and presented following the average yield. An L.S.D. of
5% is shown. Add the L.S.D. value to the trial mean. Every
variety with a greater yield than the resulting number is
'statistically better than average. Consider the merits of the
varieties in this group when making varietal selections.
To make the best use of the information presented in
this circular and to avoid any misunderstanding or
misrepresentation of it, the reader should consider an additional
caution about comparing entries. Readers who compare entries
in different trials should be extremely careful, because no
statistical tests are presented for that purpose. Readers should
note that the difference between a single entry's performance at
one location and its performance at another is caused primarily
by environmental effects and random variability. Furthermore,
the difference between the performance of entry A in one trial
and the performance of entry B in another tnal is the result not
only of environmental effects and random variability, but of
genetic effects as well.
