Tifton, Georgia:
Late-Planted Wheat Grain Performance, 2000-2001
These early maturing wheat varieties were late-planed at this location in Fall 2000.
Fleming                     GA96667LE8                   SS-518-R UGA 93059LE6               
GA92601E9              NK Coker 9663   SS-518 GXT  USG 3209                   
GA931521LE5                 Pioneer 2691                SS520                       VA96W-270                  
However, damage from 2,4-D herbicide caused considerable variation in performance among plots within the test.  After careful analysis and review of this data, it is the opinion of the editors
that the results of this trial may not accurately reflect the performance potential of all test entries.
Since this data could potential be misleading if used in making decisions concerning variety
selection, we have chosen not to present them in this publication.
