1. Anthracnose rating: 1 = resistant to 5 = death of tissue and/or plant.
2. The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = .10 probability level; therefore, a LSD value was not calculated.
     
Disease screening conducted by Dr. R. R. Duncan and J. Purser at Georgia Station, Griffin, Georgia.
