Summary Statistics | Test Weight | Stand (plants/a) | Plant Height |
Standard Error | 3.0 | 2,902 | 1.2 |
LSD[1] | 5.1 | 4,844 | 2.1 |
Mean[2] | 41.5 | 58,118 | 53.0 |
CV[3] | 7.1 | 5.0 | 2.3 |
Reps | 8 | 8 | 8 |
[1] For differences between varieties that are equal to or greater than the LSD value, the chance that the difference is significant is 90%.
[2] Mean performance of all plots in the trial.
[3] Coefficient of Variation (CV) indicates the quality of a trial, and lower than 15 indicates a high-quality trial. For CV>15, there was higher than expected variability in the field or the data and the results should be used with caution.

| Collaborator: | USDA MARC |
| Planting Date: | 6/2/2025 |
| Target Seeding Rate: | 90,000 seeds/a |
| Harvest Date: | 11/13/2025 |
| Fertility: | 9 gal 10-34-0 in furrow at planting; manually side-dressed with 100 lb/a 46-0-0 |
| Herbicide/Fungicides: | 32 oz/a glyphosate pre-plant burndown; Peak, Warrant, 2,4-D applied at labeled rates post-emerge |
| Soil Type: | Crete and Hastings silt loams |
| GPS: | Restricted access site, NA |
| Planting Info: | Planted 1.25” into no-till terminated rye cover crop |
| Notes on Trial: | Lower than anticipated stand, likely due to heavy cover crop residue and early season pigweed pressure before Peak application. Yields were highly variable and overall average was 32.9 bu/a. However, M66GR32 and BH 4820 stood out with mean performances of 62 bu/a, and M70GR37 with 53 bu/a. Remaining hybrids tested had poorer seed set and contributed to a higher than acceptable CV. |
