1.  Whole plant yields taken at soft dough stage of development.
2.  C.V. = 13.2%, and df for EMS = 33.
3.  The F-test indicated no statistical difference at the alpha = 0.1 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).
