* Wheat check.
1. Yields calculated as 48 pounds per bushel at 13.0% moisture.
2. C.V. = 11.0%, and df for EMS = 27.
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).
