| 1. C.V. = 6.7%, and df for EMS = 87. | |||||||||
| 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). |
