A wheat and barley demonstration on the Bruce Church Farm, Poston, Arizona, harvested June 5, 1986, gave crop and variety performance differences under grower management conditions. The top yielding barley variety was Westbred Gustoe, 6190 lbs /acre. The leading durum varieties were Turbo and Yavaros, 7280 and 7220 lbs/acre, respectively. Durum Wheat Westbred 881 was highest in protein (15.6 %) and lowest in percentage of yellowberry. In the bread wheat varieties, yields ranged from 6740 to 6570 lbs per acre. Varieties tested were Yecora Rojo, Probred, Probrand 775, and Westbred 911, with no significant differences in yield between varieties. Yecora Rojo was highest in protein (15.8 %). While these are the results of one year, continued testing over several years is necessary to assess variety performance under grower management conditions.
