1. Yields calculated as 60 pounds per bushel at 13.5% moisture.
2. Soil-borne wheat mosaic virus: R = resistant, MR = moderate resistance, S = Susceptible.
3. Percentage of leaf area.
4. C.V. = 20.0%, and df for EMS = 129.
5. The F-test indicated no statistical difference at the alpha = 0.1 probability level; therefore, an 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:	November 26, 2002.
Harvested:	May 29, 2003.
Seeding Rate:	22 seeds per foot in 7" rows.
Soil Type:	Greenville sandy loam.
Soil Test:	P = Medium, K = Medium, and pH = 6.2.
Fertilization:	Preplant: 59 lb N, 54 lb P₂O₅, and 27 lb K₂O/acre.
	Topdress: 80 lb N/acre.
Management:	Subsoiled and rototilled.
Previous Crop:	Peanuts.
