1. Yields calculated at 15.5% moisture.
2. Grain quality rating: 1 = excellent to 5 = poor.
3. Grain moisture at harvest.
4. CV = 8.5%, and df for EMS = 60.
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: March 23, 2000.
Harvested: August 18, 2000.
Seeding Rate: 31,500 seeds/acre in 30" rows.
Soil Type: Tifton loamy sand.
Soil Test: P = High, K = Medium, and pH = 6.0.
Fertilization: 99 lb N, 130 lb P2O5, and 195 lb K2O/acre as preplant; 198 lb N/acre as sidedress.
Previous Crop: Soybean.
Management: Subsoiled, bedded, and rototilled; Aatrex, Prowl, and one cultivation used for weed control; Lorsban used for insect control; Nemacure used for nematode control; irrigated 11.0 inches.
            
Test conducted by A. E. Coy and M. D. Pippin.
