1. Yields calculated as 56 pounds per bushel at 13.0% moisture.
2. Leaf rust percentage on flag leaves.
3. C.V. = 13.2%, and df for EMS = 24.
4. The F-test indicated no statistical difference 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).
