1. Yields calculated at 13% moisture.
2. Lodging rating: Rated 1 (all plants erect) to 5 (over 80% of plants down).
3. Seed quality rating: Rated 1 (very good) to 5 (very poor).
4. Shattering rating: Rated 1 (no shattering) to 5 (>50% pods shattered).
5. CV = 6.5% and df for EMS = 52.  
6. The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = .10 probability level; therefore, a LSD value was not calculated.
7. CV = 10.5% and df for EMS = 34.
8. CV = 7.9% and df for EMS = 68.
Bolding within each test denotes entries with yields equal to the highest yielding entry based on Fisher's protected LSD (P = 0.10).
Planted: May 12, 1999.  
Harvested: Maturity Group V - October 8, 1999.
Maturity Group VI - October 14, 1999.
Maturity Groups VII & VIII - October 28, 1999.
Seeding Rate: Eight viable seeds per foot in 30" rows.
Soil Type: Tifton loamy sand.
Soil Test: P = High, K = Medium, and pH = 6.0.
Fertilization: 14 lb N, 28 lb P2O5, and 54 lb K2O/acre.
Previous Crop: Corn.
