* Full-season hybrid.
1. Yields calculated at 15.5% moisture.
2. Grain quality rating: 1 = excellent to 5 = poor.
3. Grain moisture at harvest.
4. CV = 6.9%, and df for EMS = 24.
5. The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = .10 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: May 2, 2000.
Harvested: October 19, 2000.
Seeding Rate: 26,500 seeds/acre in 30" rows.
Soil Type: Bradson clay loam.
Soil Test: P = High, K = Medium, and pH = 6.8.
Fertilization: 77 lb N, 77 lb P2O5, and 77 lb K2O/acre as preplant; 150 lb N/acre as sidedress.
Previous Crop: Soybean.
Management: Moldboard plowed and disked; Aatrex, Bicep, and one cultivation used for weed control.
            
Test conducted by P. A. Rose and H. D. Garrett.
