1. Yields calculated at 15.5% moisture.
2. Grain quality rating: 1 = excellent to 5 = poor.
3. Grain moisture at harvest.
4. CV = 8.2%, and df for EMS = 27.
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 22, 2000.
Harvested: August 4, 2000.
Seeding Rate: 27,700 seeds/acre in 30" rows.
Soil Type: Dothan loamy fine sand.
Soil Test: P = Medium, K = Medium, and pH = 5.6.
Fertilization: 18 lb N, 54 lb P2O5, and 108 lb K2O/acre as preplant; 150 lb N/acre as sidedress.
Previous Crop: Soybean.
Management: Subsoiled and strip tilled; Aatrex and Permit used for weed control; irrigated 10.0 inches.
            
Test conducted by D. L. Wright and B. Kidd.
