1. Yields calculated as 48 pounds per bushel at 12.0% moisture.
2. C.V. = 12.5%, and df for EMS = 18.
3. The F-test indicated no statistical difference at the alpha = 0.1 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: October 22, 1999.
Harvested: June 9, 2000.
Seeding Rate: 15 seeds per foot in 7" rows.
Soil Type: Waynesboro loam.
Soil Test: P = High, K = High, and pH = 6.3.
Fertilization: 20 lb N, 40 lb P2O5, and 60 lb K2O/acre.
  70 lb N/acre.
Management: Moldboard plowed and rototilled.
Previous Crop: Canola.
