In a nutshell:
- Eleven cereal rye varieties and one triticale variety were screened at four Iowa State University research farms.
Key findings:
- Across sites and varieties, average cereal rye yield was 89 bu/ac, higher than any of the six previous trial years.
- Hybrid cereal rye varieties Serafino and Receptor were among the three highest yielding varieties at all four sites. Other high yielding rye varieties included SU Performer, SU Cossani, and Tayo.
- Tulus (triticale) and SU Bebop (new this year) were the top yielding open-pollinated varieties across all sites.
