2010 SCC-33/UCTA Meetings
Evaluation of University Variety Testing Programs
Lanny Ashlock, Cullum Seeds Agronomist
SSC-33 MeetingPoint Clear, Alabama
Marriott Grand Hotel and Resort January 27, 2009
Topic: Use of OVT data by farmers:
will this decrease or increase over time?
2009 SSC-33 MeetingTopic: Use of OVT data by farmers:
will this decrease or increase over time?
To get a grasp on the present situation, I sent a 4 question
survey to some select growers and consultants.
2009 SSC-33 MeetingTopic: Use of OVT data by farmers:
will this decrease or increase over time?
2009 limited AR survey conclusions : • The base perception in support of the for OVT among key farmers (influential producers) was very positive .• The base perception in support of the OVT by crop advisors was also mostly positive (limited responders).
2009 SSC-33 MeetingTopic: Use of OVT data by farmers:
will this decrease or increase over time?
Survey inferences to this agronomist:
Seed companies (esp. regional) should continue to enter at least the newer material into the OVT (many reasons).
2010 SCC-33/UCTA Meetings
What I didn’t survey in 2009:
What is the perception of Seed Company personnel (agronomists & management) regarding
the value of the results obtained from the University OVTs?
2010 SCC-33/UCTA Meetings
My 2009 Perception:
Our regional company relies heavily upon University OVT testing program.
In the Mid-South screening for pest tolerances & rating info is just about
as important as the yield data.
2010 SCC-33/UCTA Meetings
Our 2009 Perception:
With new trait development on the immediate horizon (it’s here) some had questions regarding just how
much confidence to place in both the genetic suppliers &/or the University
OVT program.
2010 SCC-33/UCTA Meetings
Rationale for Multiple Entries: Yield Differences
(cross company entries) Disease/Nematode Ratings
New Traits (Decisions) Herbicide Ratings Salt Tolerances
(Need to make smart decisions)
SCC2010 Meeting
Material and Methods:Submitted 3 MG 4 experimental lines
for testing in 2009 Submitted to 6 Southern
University OVT programs Duplicate samples submitted
Same lot & same bag
Same seed treatment
