1.  Rated as percent of foliage damaged by low temperature.
2.  C.V. = 6.2%, and df for EMS = 45.
3.  The F-test indicated no statistical difference at the alpha = 0.10 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).
