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).
Planted: October 24, 2000.
Seeding Rate: 27 seed/foot in 7" rows.
Soil Type: Tifton loamy sand.
Soil Test: P = Medium, K = Medium, and pH = 7.2.
Fertilization: Preplant: 93 lb N, 50 lb P2O5, and 75 lb K2O/acre.
Topdress: 50 lb N/acre after 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th harvests.
Management: Moldboard plowed and rototilled; Diaznon used for insect control.
Previous Crop: Corn silage.
Test conducted by A. E. Coy and M. D. Pippin.
