1.  Yields calculated at 15.5% moisture.
2.  Grain quality rating:  1 = excellent to 5 = poor.
3.  Grain moisture at harvest.
4.  CV = 6.5%, and df for EMS = 69.
5.  The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = .10 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: April 12, 2001.
Harvested: August 27, 2001.
Seeding Rate: 30,500 seeds/acre in 30" rows.
Soil Type: Dothan loamy sand.
Soil Test: P = Medium, K = Medium, and pH = 5.7.
Fertilization: 105 lb N, 115 lb P2O5, and 145 lb K2O/acre as preplant; 136 lb N/acre as sidedress.
Previous Crop: Peanut.
Management: Chisel plowed, subsoiled, and bedded; Atrazine used for weed control; irrigated 6.0 inches.
