Tools for Selecting Small Grain Varieties from UCCE Statewide Trials
January 12, 2018
Statewide testing program Research Question: What is the agronomic potential of new and existing small grain cultivars in California’s diverse growing regions?
Objective: Measure small grain productivity, quality, disease resistance and agronomic characteristics across a range of environmental and management conditions that represent California agroecosystems.
Objective: Apply multi-level statistical models to trial data to understand and communicate varietal differences due to genotypic, environmental and management effects.
Delta, 1/6/17 Delta, 3/16/17
Objective: Apply multi-level statistical models to trial data to understand and communicate varietal differences due to genotypic, environmental and management effects.
Objective: Apply multi-level statistical models to trial data to understand and communicate varietal differences due to genotypic, environmental and management effects.
Objective: Report results in formats that are useful and accessible to multiple types of users.
