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. C.V. = 28.6%, and df for EMS = 57.
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).
Planted:	October 18, 2001.
Harvested:	May 22, 2002.
Seeding Rate:	5 lb/acre in 7" rows.
Soil Type:	Greenville sandy clay loam.
Soil Test:	P = Medium, K = High, and pH = 6.3.
Fertilization:	Preplant: 30 lb N, 42 lb P₂O₅, and 42 lb K₂O/acre.
	Topdress: 90 lb N/acre.
Management:	Subsoiled and rototilled; Treflan used for weed control.
Previous Crop:	Peanuts.
