1.  C.V. = 6.9%, and df for EMS = 45.
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 25, 2000.
Seeding Rate: 27 seed/foot in 7" rows.
Soil Type: Greenville sandy clay loam.
Soil Test: P = Medium, K = High, and pH = 5.6.
Fertilization: Preplant: 50 lb N, 49 lb P2O5, and 49 lb K2O/acre.
Topdress: 50 lb N/acre after 1st, 2nd, and 3rd harvests.
Management: Subsoiled and rototilled.
Previous Crop: Peanut.
Test conducted by A. E. Coy, M. D. Pippin, and R. R. Pines.
