1. Yields calculated at 15.5% moisture.
2. Grain quality rating: 1 = excellent to 5 = poor.
3. Grain moisture at harvest.
4. CV = 5.3%, and df for EMS = 42.
5. The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = .10 probability level; therefore an LSD value was not calculated.
Bolding indicates entries yielding equal to highest yielding entry within a column based on Fisher's protected LSD (P = 0.10).
Planted: April 8, 1999.
Harvested: September 7, 1999.
Seeding Rate: 30,000 seeds/acre in 30" rows.
Soil Type: Cecil sandy clay loam.
Soil Test: P = Medium, K = High, and pH = 6.7.
Fertilization: 49 lb N, 98 lb P2O5, and 147 lb K2O/acre as preplant; 200 lb N and lb S/acre as sidedress.
Previous Crop: Soybean.
Management: Moldboard plowed and rototilled; Aatrex and Lasso used for weed control; irrigated 9 inches.
Test conducted by P.A. Rose and J. L. Day.
