1.  C.V. = 4.8%, and df for EMS = 72.
2.  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).
