1.  C.V. = 15.1%, and df for EMS = 87.
2.  C.V. = 10.9%, and df for EMS = 87.
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).
