1.  Rated as percent of foliage damaged by low temperature.
2.  C.V. = 10.1%, and df for EMS = 78.
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).
Planted:	November 22, 2002.
Seeding Rate:	50 lb/acre broadcast.
Soil Type:	Waynesboro loam.
Soil Test:	P = High, K = High, and pH = 6.1.
Fertilization:	Preplant:	50 lb N, 50 lb P2O5, and 75 lb K2O/acre.
	Topdress:	50 lb N/acre after 1st and 2nd harvests.
Management:	Moldboard plowed and disked.
Previous Crop:	Canola.
Test conducted by P. A. Rose, G. Rawls, and J. Stubbs.
