^a Superscripts indicate ranking at that location.
^bSignificant (P <0.01 or 0.05) variety X location interaction for a trait indicates that means averaged over locations in above table may not indicate within location performance. Therefore, use means over locations to compare
varietal performance with caution.
Bolding indicates entries not significantly different from highest yielding entry based on Fisher's protected LSD (P = 0.10)
