1. Yields calculated at 13% moisture.
2. Lodging rating: Rated 1 (all plants erect) to 5 (over 80% of plants down).
3. Seed quality rating: Rated 1 (very good) to 5 (very poor).
4. Shattering rating: Rated 1 (no shattering) to 5 (>50% pods shattered).
5. CV = 19.6% and df for EMS = 18.
6. The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = .10 probability level; therefore, a LSD value was not calculated.
7. CV = 10.1% and df for EMS = 24.
8. CV = 7.3% and df for EMS = 48.
Bolding within each test denotes entries with yields equal to the highest yielding entry based on Fisher's protected LSD (P = 0.10).
Planted: May 11, 2000.
Harvested: Maturity Group V - October 9, 2000.
  Maturity Group VI - October 24, 2000.
  Maturity Groups VII & VIII - November 2, 2000.
Seeding Rate: Eight viable seeds per foot in 30" rows.
Soil Type: Cecil sandy clay loam.
Soil Test: P = High, K = High, and pH = 6.9.
Fertilization: 28 lb N, 56 lb P2O5, and 84 lb K2O/acre.
Previous Crop: Corn.
Management: Moldboard plowed and rototilled; Lasso, Basagran, and Classic used for weed control.
