| 1. C.V. = 8.2%, and df for EMS = 102. | ||||||||
| 2. C.V. = 8.0%, and df for EMS = 102. | ||||||||
| 2. The F-test indicated no statisical 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. | |||||||
| Seeding Rate: | 36 seed/foot in 7" rows. | |||||||
| Soil Type: | Dothan loamy fine sand. | |||||||
| Soil Test: | P = High, K = High, and pH = 6.3. | |||||||
| Fertilization: | 40 lb N, 0 lb P2O5, and 0 lb K2O/acre. | |||||||
| 50 lb N/acre after 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th harvests. | ||||||||
| Management: | Moldboard plowed and rototilled. | |||||||
| Previous Crop: | Summer fallow. | |||||||
