1.  C.V. = 9.5%, and df for EMS = 51.
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).
Planted: October 4, 2000.
Seeding Rate: 27 seed/foot in 7" rows.
Soil Type: Cecil sandy clay loam.
Soil Test: P = High, K = High, and pH = 6.8.
Fertilization: Preplant: 49 lb N, 98 lb P2O5, and 147 lb K2O/acre.
Topdress: 50 lb N/acre after 1st, 2nd, and 3rd harvests.
Management: Moldboard plowed and rototilled.
Previous Crop: Canola.
Test conducted by P. A. Rose.
