2012-2013 Organic Wheat OVT Results
by Chris Reberg-Horton, George Place, and Carrie Brinton, NC State University
The organic OVT was started in 2010 with wheat to try to identify varieties that performed well under organic production conditions in North Carolina and could be recommended to farmers. Results of 2011-2012 Organic Wheat OVT can be found here.
Growers should examine NCSU’s 2013 Wheat Variety Performance and Recommendations for a more complete set of test results, disease ratings, and production recommendations. The publication can be found at: http://www.smallgrains.ncsu.edu/_Misc/_VarietySelection.pdf
Wheat quality data for each variety was analyzed as well, with results below. The falling number measures the effect of enzymes on wheat quality and gives an indication of sprout damage in a sample. Low falling numbers indicate more sprouting and a lower quality sample. Protein is the percent protein in a sample, also a quality indication.

| *LSD of 7.6 indicates that yield differences of 7.6 bu/acre or less are not significant. **Falling number measures the effect of enzymes on wheat quality and gives an indication of sprout damage in a sample. Low falling numbers indicate more sprouting and a lower quality sample. Falling numbers and protein for 2013 not yet available |
