^ Two-year average of 1999 and 2000.
1. Yields calculated at 15.5% moisture.
2. Grain quality rating: 1 = excellent to 5 = poor.
3. Grain moisture at harvest.
4. CV = 8.6%, and df for EMS = 90.
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 28, 2000.
Harvested:	August 30, 2000.
Seeding Rate:	31.000 seeds/acre in 30" rows.
Soil Type:	Dothan sandy loam.
Soil Test:	P = Medium, K = High, and pH = 6.7.
Fertilization:	80 lb N, 90 lb P₂O₅, and 110 lb K₂O/acre as preplant; 150 lb N/acre as sidedress.
Previous Crop:	Cotton.
Management:	Subsoiled and bedded; Aatrex, Dual, and one cultivation used for weed control; irrigated 21.0 inches.

Test conducted by A. E. Coy, M. D. Pippin, and R. D. McNeill, IV.
