‘Triumph’, ‘Valier’, ‘Waxbar’, and ‘Xena’. In additi<strong>on</strong> to the various replicated trials<br />

grown at Aberdeen and Tet<strong>on</strong>ia, about 140 two-rowed barleys were grown under<br />

irrigati<strong>on</strong> in n<strong>on</strong>replicated trials at Aberdeen in 2001 for preliminary evaluati<strong>on</strong>s of<br />

agr<strong>on</strong>omic and quality characteristics. Approximately forty two-rowed entries were also<br />

grown in similar n<strong>on</strong>replicated trials <strong>on</strong> dryland at Tet<strong>on</strong>ia in 2001.<br />

Promising two-rowed spring barley selecti<strong>on</strong>s developed at Aberdeen and currently being<br />

c<strong>on</strong>sidered in AMBA-sp<strong>on</strong>sored pilot or plant-scale evaluati<strong>on</strong>s of malting and brewing<br />

quality or other advanced trials and evaluati<strong>on</strong>s include 90Ab241 (A517/Harringt<strong>on</strong>//<br />

Harringt<strong>on</strong>), 94Ab12990 (85Ab2323/ND9147), 95Ab11469 (87Ab9561/ND9870),<br />

98Ab11865 (85Ab2323/Galena), and 98Ab11993 (90Ab241/Bar<strong>on</strong>esse).<br />

Summaries of agr<strong>on</strong>omic data for two-rowed barley varieties and selecti<strong>on</strong>s in the<br />

Advanced Yield Nurseries (trial A) grown under irrigati<strong>on</strong> at Aberdeen and Tet<strong>on</strong>ia,<br />

Idaho from 1999 through 2001 are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. The selecti<strong>on</strong>s<br />

95Ab11469 and 98Ab11865 performed especially well under irrigati<strong>on</strong> at Aberdeen, with<br />

95Ab11469 showing good kernel plumpness al<strong>on</strong>g with high yield. The selecti<strong>on</strong>s<br />

90Ab241 and 95Ab11469 showed fair to good yield at Tet<strong>on</strong>ia, with 95Ab11469 again<br />

showing good plump kernel percentage. Table 3 shows the agr<strong>on</strong>omic performance of<br />

two-rowed varieties and selecti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> dryland at Tet<strong>on</strong>ia from 1999 through 2001. The<br />

selecti<strong>on</strong>s 94Ab12990 and 95Ab11469 dem<strong>on</strong>strated very good yield and were<br />

comparable in performance to 85Ab2323 in these tests.<br />

The selecti<strong>on</strong> 90Ab241 was submitted for AMBA pilot-scale tests of malting and<br />

brewing quality in 2001 for a third year of testing. The selecti<strong>on</strong> 90Ab241 has a good<br />

agr<strong>on</strong>omic record in irrigated and dryland trials in southern Idaho and promising malting<br />

quality characteristics. 90Ab241 was equal in yield to Merit under irrigati<strong>on</strong> at Aberdeen<br />

in seven years of trials (Table 4) and equal to Garnet under irrigati<strong>on</strong> at Tet<strong>on</strong>ia over five<br />

years (Table 5). Its performance <strong>on</strong> dryland at Tet<strong>on</strong>ia over five years (Table 6) was not<br />

as good and was significantly less than 85Ab2323. The malting quality data for 90Ab241<br />

at Aberdeen and Tet<strong>on</strong>ia are shown in Tables 7-10. It has shown higher plumps and malt<br />

extract than 85Ab2323 with lower barley and wort protein. It’s alpha amylase activity is<br />

also higher than 85Ab2323. A winter two-rowed selecti<strong>on</strong>, 94Ab1274<br />

(MT81616/81Ab1702), was also submitted for a third year of AMBA pilot-scale testing<br />

in 2001. (See details below under WINTER BARLEY.)<br />

The selecti<strong>on</strong> 98Ab11865 which was highlighted in last year’s report c<strong>on</strong>tinued to show<br />

high yield potential under irrigati<strong>on</strong> at Aberdeen (Table 1), outperforming all other<br />

varieties and selecti<strong>on</strong>s except for Xena over the past two years. It was not submitted for<br />

pilot-scale testing in 2001, but will be included in the <strong>2002</strong> AMBA pilot-scale multilocati<strong>on</strong><br />

testing program coordinated by Pat Hensleigh at M<strong>on</strong>tana State University at<br />

Bozeman. The selecti<strong>on</strong> 98Ab11993 is the other two-rowed entry in this testing program.<br />

This selecti<strong>on</strong> has good agr<strong>on</strong>omic performance with a yield equal to or better than<br />

85Ab2323 for three years under irrigati<strong>on</strong> at Aberdeen (Table 1) and with good plump<br />

kernel percentage. The three six-rowed entries in the AMBA program will be discussed<br />

later.
