1. Yields calculated as 50 lb/bu at 8.5% moisture.
2. Lodging rating: 1.0 = all plants erect to 5.0 = over 80% of plants down.
3. Rating: 1 = no shattering to 5 = over 80% shattered.
4. C.V. = 18.9%, and df for EMS = 51.
5. 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).
