Site InformationDetails
Location:High Plains Ag. Lab, 3257 Road 109, Sidney, NE 69162
Planting Date: Sept. 19, 2024
Target Seeding Rate:

350,000 live seeds/acre

Seeds were inoculated with granular pea inoculum at the time of planting

Harvest Date: July 28, 2025
Herbicide: Sonolan and Round-Up
Planting Info: 5 ft x 30 ft (6 rows with 10" row spacing), tilled-till ground
Notes on Trial:

Yield was much lower than average due to winter kill and CV was >15 due to extreme variability in winter survival as noticed in % of stand.

LSD: Two varieties are significantly different from each other if the difference between them is equal or more than LSD.

CV: 15 is generally acceptable value. When CV>15, the data is of poor quality and should not be considered.
