*  Nonirrigated:  2000, 1999.
1.  Yields calculated at 13% moisture.
2.  Lodging rating:  Rated 1 (all plants erect) to 5 (over 80% of plants down).
3.  Seed quality rating:  Rated 1 (very good) to 5 (very poor).
4.  Shattering rating:  Rated 1 (no shattering) to 5 (>50% pods shattered).
5.  CV = 5.7% and df for EMS = 90.
6.  The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = .10 probability level; therefore, a LSD value was not
     calculated.
7.  CV = 8.0% and df for EMS = 42.
Bolding within each test denotes entries with yields equal to the highest yielding entry based on Fisher's
protected LSD (P = 0.10).
Planted: May 15, 2001.
Harvested: Maturity Group V - October 15, 2001.
Maturity Group VI - October 22, 2001.
Seeding Rate: Ten seeds per foot in 30" rows.
Soil Type: Rome gravelly clay loam.
Soil Test: P = High, K = High, and pH = 6.4.
Fertilization: 30 lb N, 60 lb P2O5, and 90 lb K2O/acre.
Previous Crop: Corn.
Management: Subsoiled, moldboard plowed, and rototilled; Lasso, Canopy XL, Basagran, Classic, Select, and
one cultivation used for weed control; irrigated 1.0 inch.
