Evaluation location: Oregon, United States
2024 SAC Germplasm evaluation conducted at Oregon State University by Dr. Everald McLennon. Data is presented as means across all individuals of accession_inventory. Trial was replicated at LSU, WSU, OSU, UCD, AAMU, and partially at ARS-PGRU Geneva, NY. Seedout date: May 16, 2024, Transplanting date: June 10-11, 2024, Location Klamath Falls at Klamath Basin Research & Extension Center. Additional trial notes from Dr. McLennon: "Trial conditions were generally good and no major production issues were encountered. A few varieties were late maturing as up to 130 days after transplanting they had not yet flowered. Some varieties produced seeds before the chemical harvest (35 days after terminal flowering) period, so flower samples were not collected for these varieties. All varieties were susceptible to freezing conditions while some varieties were damaged (broken branches etc.,) by strong breeze. Beet curly top virus affected a few varieties. Bird predation was a challenge during the trial. Pictures at vegetative stage (8 weeks after transplanting) showed good phenotypic differences. Taking pictures of whole plant flowering at chemical harvest (35 days after terminal flowering) was difficult because plants grew so well, and plot area was very dense."
