Variety Selection Error Range of costs Average Cost Large Error
(Top vs Bottom variety) $103 to $315 per acre
$156 Small Error
(Top 3 vs the others)
$69 to $236 per acre $120 2015 Costs of Improper Variety Selection: $0.65/lb
Improper Variety Selection could’ve cost NC growers $45,600,000 to $59,280,000 on AVG in 2015 when choosing among only best varieties!!!
Understand your Yield Limiting Factors.......field x field basis
- Water (soils), weed control, nematodes, plant growth, realistic
yield potential
Variety selection considerations
Be CAUTIOUS with field observations !!!
- Every variety can perform well or poorly
- Yield is influenced by small variations in environment
- Evaluate varieties under the SAME conditions !!!
Stability is the best predictor of performance
- Every variety can win or lose a trial….no variety wins them all!!
- How frequently a variety performs at or near the top determines stability
= strong performance across soils, weather and rainfall patterns, planting dates, grower management practices, etc
- Observe Multi-Location and Multi-Year Data (OVT & On-Farm Trials)
- Plant multiple varieties (all have strengths and weaknesses)
