Performance of Small Grain Varieties in Alabama, 2025-2026

Most Recent Update

June 2 –  Results for the first harvest of the season are available from the Prattville Agricultural Research Unit.

  • Wheat – yield, quality (variety selection tool only), and disease ratings
  • Oats – Yield and disease ratings

Additionally, disease ratings, compliments of Dr. Amanda Scherer’s Extension Plant Pathology Program, are available for all trials/locations/species.  Disease summaries are posted for each disease/species.

Due to the low number of triticale entries, triticale was evaluated alongside wheat for the 2025-2026 season.  As a result, they can be statistically compared to the wheat.
