IBA
IBA is a new variety from Oklahoma Genetics, Inc and looks very promising for all of Oklahoma, much of Kansas, and southeastern Colorado. IBA had an outstanding yield record in both the 2013 and 2012 OSU variety trials. It also yielded well at some of the K-State locations in 2013. It has very good tolerance to barley yellow dwarf and leaf rust, which makes it well suited for central and eastern regions. When planting IBA on acid soils, it would be a good idea to use phosphorus with the seed at planting time. IBA is susceptible at times to physiological leaf spotting. IBA can be grazed a little later in spring than most.
