2014 Field Trials Results: Texas A&M AgriLife Research And Extension Center (Overton, Texas)

The Texas A&M trials had more than 600 entries that represented around 60 species. Most were annual species, but a significant number of herbaceous perennials were included. Weather conditions during the trials remained cool and dry until early May. The rest of May was warm with good rainfall. June and July were not hot, but were very warm and dry. August and early September were seasonably hot and dry, but overall the summer was mild by Texas standards.
