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 = 17.4% and df for EMS = 48.
6. CV = 19.8% and df for EMS = 32.
7. The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = .10 probability level; therefore, a LSD value was not calculated.
8. CV = 16.1% and df for EMS = 56.
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 31,2000.
Harvested: November 3, 2000.
Seeding Rate: Eight viable seeds per foot in 30" rows.
Soil Type: Tifton loamy sand.
Soil Test: P = Medium, K = High, and pH = 6.5.
Fertilization: 0 lb N, 0 lb P2O5, and 0 lb K2O/acre.
Previous Crop: Cotton.
Management: Subsoiled and bedded, rototilled; Treflan, Storm, Basagran, and one cultivation used for weed control; Karate and Larvin used for insect control.
          
Test conducted by A. E. Coy and M. D. Pippin.
