Evaluation of Selected Teff ([Eragrostis Tef (Zucc.) Trotter]) Varieties in Oklahoma
Abstract
We evaluated the performance of 15 varieties of teff in the greenhouse and the field in 2010 and 2011. Field studies were conducted at Lake Carl Blackwell and Stillwater Agronomy Research Station, Stillwater, OK, while greenhouse studies were established in a greenhouse facility located at Agronomy Research Station, Stillwater, OK. The variables collected included plant height, plant biomass, and seed weight from each variety. Data were subjected to statistical analysis using ANOVA in SAS. We found two varieties that performed well for both seed and biomass in the greenhouse. Variety Dz-01-974 performed in the top 5 in all aspects in the greenhouse. In the field, variety Dz-01-974 would be recommended for both seed and biomass production and the variety Kuncho would be recommended for biomass production
