1. Yields calculated as 60 pounds per bushel at 13.5% moisture.

2. Percentage on flag leaves.

3. C.V. = 7.8%, and df for EMS = 36.

Bolding indicates entries yielding equal to highest yielding entry within a column based on Fisher's protected LSD (P = 0.10).

Planted: November 30, 1999.

Harvested: May 17, 2000.

Seeding Rate: 22 seeds per foot in 7" rows.

Soil Type: Tifton loamy sand.

Soil Test: P = High, K = Medium, and pH = 5.7.

Fertilization: Preplant: 40 lb N, 40 lb P₂O₅, and 40 lb K₂O/acre.

Topdress: 40 lb N/acre.

Management: Moldboard plowed and rototilled.

Previous Crop: Cotton.
