1. C.V. = 6.4%, and df for EMS = 105.
2. C.V. = 4.5%, and df for EMS = 105.
2. 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 26, 1999.
Seeding Rate: 36 seed/foot in 7" rows.
Soil Type: Tifton loamy sand.
Soil Test: P = High, K = Medium, and pH = 5.8.
Fertilization: 93 lb N, 50 lb P2O5, and 75 lb K2O/acre.
  40 lb N/acre after 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th harvests.
Management: Moldboard plowed and rototilled.
Previous Crop: Summer annual forage.
 
Test conducted by A. E. Coy and M. D. Pippin.
