1. Yields calculated at 13% moisture.
2. Midville, Plains and Tifton.
3. Maturity Groups V & VI: Athens, Calhoun and Griffin. Maturity Groups VII & VIII: Athens.
4. Maturity Groups V & VI: All six locations. Maturity Groups VII & VIII: Four locations (Athens, Midville, Plains, and Tifton).
5. The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = .10 probability level; therefore a LSD value was not calculated.
Bolding within each test denotes entries with yields equal to the highest yielding entry based on Fisher's protected LSD (P = 0.10).
