| Midville, Georgia: Yield and Grade Performance Peanut Variety Trial, 2003 |
|||||||||
| Peanut variety
trials, both irrigated and nonirrigated, were planted at this location
on May 29, 2003. However, extensive damage to the soil, soil compaction, and water- logged soil conditions from over 27 inches of rain during May, June, and July caused |
|||||||||
| very low yields
and considerable variation in performance among plots within the tests. After careful analysis and review of this data, it is the opinion of the editors that the results of these trials may not accurately reflect the genetic performance |
|||||||||
| potential of all
test entries. Since this data could be
misleading if used in making decisions concerning variety selection, we have
chosen not to present the data in this publication. |
