| 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. | ||||
