MOSES LAKE SPRING BARLEY – 2005 WSU VARIETY TESTING DATA 

1.       2005 Spring Barley data from the WSU Variety Testing nursery at the Moses Lake  location (approx. 5 miles west of Moses Lake near Dodson Road on Rd 3NW) averaged over 2.75 -tons/acre (5543 lbs/ac). This nursery followed 2004 potato crop. 

2.       TEST WEIGHT values were good for the majority of varieties in this nursery with an average of 52.0 lbs/bu. 

3.       LODGING was not as severe in the 2005 spring barley nursery compared to previous crop years.  Nitrogen fertilizer rates were minimized in this nursery to prevent excessive lodging and the nursery was irrigated with solid sets.   

4.       YIELDS were very similar for many of the varieties/experimental lines.  Over half of the varieties had ‘statistically’ equal yield values.  As in other nurseries, 6-row varieties/experimental lines had substantially lower yields in this nursery.
