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. = 20.4%, 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:	November 1, 2001.
Harvested:	May 10, 2002.
Seeding Rate:	5 lb/acre in 7" rows.
Soil Type:	Tifton loamy sand.
Soil Test:	P = High, K = Medium, and pH = 5.6.
Fertilization:	Preplant: 30 lb N, 60 lb P₂O₅, and 90 lb K₂O/acre.
	Topdress: 144 lb N/acre.
Management:	Moldboard plowed and rototilled; Treflan used for weed control.
Previous Crop:	Small grains.
