| 4. CV = 10.3%, and df for EMS = 36. | |||||||||||
| 5. The F-test indicated
no statistical differences at the alpha = .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). |
