1. Yields calculated as 50 lb/bu at 8.5% moisture.
2. Expressed as a percentage of the total fatty acids from open pollinated seeds.
3. Lodging rating: 1.0 = all plants erect to 5.0 = over 80% of plants down.
4. C.V. = 12.2%, and df for EMS = 30.
Bolding indicates entries yielding equal to highest yielding entry within a column based on Fisher's protected LSD (P = 0.10).
