1.  Yields calculated at 15.5% moisture.
2.  Grain quality rating:  1 = excellent to 5 = poor.
3.  Grain moisture at harvest.
4.  CV = 6.9%, 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 9, 2001.
Harvested: August 24, 2001.
Seeding Rate: 29,800 seeds/acre in 30" rows.
Soil Type: Greenville sandy clay loam.
Soil Test: P = Medium, K = Medium, and pH = 6.4.
Fertilization: 105 lb N, 80 lb P2O5, and 80 lb K2O/acre as preplant; 150 lb N/acre as sidedress.
Previous Crop: Soybean.
Management: Subsoiled, and rototilled; Starfire, Prowl, and Aatrex used for weed control; irrigated 8.0 inches.
Test conducted by A. E. Coy, M. D. Pippen, R. R. Pines, R. Brooke, and T. Hancock.
