1. Yields calculated as 50 lb/bu at 8.5% moisture.
2. Expressed as a percentage of the total fatty acids.
3. Lodging rating: 1.0 = all plants erect to 5.0 = over 80% of plants down.
4. Rating: 1 = no shattering to 5 = over 80% shattered.
5. C.V. = 9.0%, and df for EMS = 26.
Bolding indicates entries yielding equal to highest yielding entry within a column based on Fisher's protected LSD (P = 0.10).
