Mission Statement:
Choosing which varieties to plant is a cornerstone of
all crop production systems. Producer's decisions about varieties
are influenced by a number of factors and have become increasingly
complicated. The objective of the Division of Agriculture's Variety
Testing Programs is to develop comprehensive and unbiased information
about the adaptability and performance of varieties in Arkansas'
diverse environments, thereby allowing producers to make informed
decisions. The University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture is
uniquely positioned in terms of expertise, infrastructure and credibility
to accomplish this objective. For these reasons, variety testing
is an important part of our mission.
To fulfill this mission, the
University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture's Variety Testing
Programs conduct replicated field trials at multiple locations representing
the major production regions in Arkansas each year. In addition
to yield, and depending on the crop and specific test, other information
that may be reported includes reaction to pests (diseases and insects),
and other agronomic characteristics such as crop quality, date of
maturity and lodging and shattering resistance.

crop production, please visit your county Extension Service office
