1. Rated on March 19 as percent of plants killed by low temperature.
2. C.V. = 8.1%, and df for EMS = 42.
3. The F-test indicated no statistical difference at the alpha = 0.10 probability level; therefore a 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 4, 2001.
Seeding Rate:	22 seed/foot in 7" rows.
Soil Type:	Pacolet coarse sandy loam.
Soil Test:	P = Medium, K = High, and pH = 6.1.
Fertilization:	Preplant:	49 lb N, 98 lb P₂O₅, and 147 lb K₂O/acre.
	Topdress:	50 lb N/acre after 1st and 2nd harvests and on February 5, 2002.
Management:	Chisel plowed, disked and rototilled; Harmony Extra used for weed control.
Previous Crop:	Sorghum.
