Kentucky Small Grain Variety Trial

Kentucky Small Grain Variety Trial

The 2025 University of Kentucky Small Grain Variety Trial results are available at: https://varietytesting.ca.uky.edu/wheat .  There were 70 entries evaluated in the 2024-25 growing season.

Data include variety performance results for wheat, barley, cereal rye, oats and triticale.  Wheat results include grain yield information from 7 trials, as well as straw & forage yield information and cover-crop/winter biomass potential. Wheat disease ratings were taken for leaf rust, head scab, leaf blotch, wheat streak mosaic virus and powdery mildew.  Wheat varieties were also rated for tolerance to Metribuzin herbicide. 

In addition to the currently available results in Excel format, the Kentucky Small Grain Variety Performance bulletin will be published soon and will be available online and printed copies will be available at all county extension offices.
