* Please Note * Some trials in this report have been tested for shorter periods of time than others. It is advised not to use either average yield figures and/or percent of check values to make cultivar comparisons for single-year data. Only after a minimum of three years of testing should data be considered as 90% reliable. In some cases, data may not be reported due to extreme variations that cannot be accounted for in the statistical design. Statistical information for this report was generated through an Analysis of Variation (ANOVA). Least significant difference (LSD) values are presented at the bottom of each table. If the difference in treatment values is less than the LSD value, the treatments are not considered to be significantly different.

WFTEST: The Western Forage Testing System

1.

Introduction The Western Forage Testing System (WFTEST) was developed in 1994 to coordinate the testing for registration and performance of forage cultivars across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The goals of this system are:



To streamline and coordinate the registration and performance evaluation process. The tests will provide sufficient data for simultaneous consideration for registration and/or performance listings in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.



To share the responsibility for forage testing among provinces, the federal government and the seed trade.



To encourage as much data collection as possible and to ensure that the tests are uniform and the sites are inspected.

2.

Procedure for Entering Cultivars 2.1

Number of Cultivars The maximum number of entries to be tested per species per year is 25, including check varieties. If there are too many entries in a given year, only three entries per applicant will be accepted.

2.2

Deadline for Application The WFTest Coordinator must receive application forms by February 15 of the seeding year. Two kilograms of seed for each entry are required and must be received by March 15. Invoices will be sent once the test has been finalized. The WFTest Coordinator contact information can be found on page 5.

2.3

Application Form An application form is attached in the appendix.

2.4

Fees The fee for all 12 sites is $900/entry/year ($75/entry/location). Companies will be invoiced annually for each year of the test (establishment year plus three harvest years). If reseeding is required at any site, companies will not be invoiced for those sites in the year of reseeding. There will be flexibility in the core sites to accommodate species adaptability – for example, red clover or timothy would not necessarily by tested at sites in Area 1 (brown) or Area 2 (dark brown) agro-climatic zones and fees would be adjusted accordingly.

3.2

Seeding Schedules Species trials will be seeded annually if sufficient entries are received. Tests that fail to establish will be reseeded in the following year. Annual and Italian ryegrasses will undergo two successive seedings.

3.3

Experimental Design and Plot Management Tests will be seeded in a randomized complete block design with a minimum of four replicates, a suggested minimum plot size of 6 m x 1 m and a suggested minimum harvest area of 5 sq. m. Sites will be managed according to the recommended practices for forage management in the region. The seeding rates will be based on provincial recommendations and will be calculated on a pure live seeds/meter of row.

3.4

Check Varieties The following list is subject to approval by provincial forage testing committees:                            

The committee will update check varieties as necessary. However, data for a given entry will be compared to the same check throughout its evaluation.

4.

Site Inspection Members of the provincial forage cultivar registration subcommittees will visit all sites before the first harvest each year. Visits will be organized by WFTest members in each province and information reported immediately to the WFTest coordinator. Tests will be rated as: a) accepted, b) conditionally accepted (e.g. certain plots or replicates may not be harvested), or c) rejected.

5.

Data Collection Forage harvests will be made for legumes at the beginning of bloom and for grasses at full heading. Forage yield data will be reported on a dry matter basis in kg/ha. The number of harvests will be determined by growth conditions at the test location. No harvests will be taken during a fall rest period, the dates of which will correspond to local climatic conditions. Perennial species will be harvested for a minimum of three successive years, annual and biennial species will be harvested for a minimum of two successive years. All trial data will be reported.

6.

Data Management Each province will be responsible for their trial data management and statistical analysis. Provincial representatives will annually forward trial data for entries eligible for registration to industry participants before provincial advisory committee meetings. Summarized data will be forwarded to the WFTest coordinator. Committee members and industry participants will receive a compiled annual report.
