*Green pea
[1] Yield @ 12% moisture

CAUTION: Use the data with caution. This is NOT the typical yield for this location. However, ranking of the previously tested varieties remained same as in the past. 
Low yield was because poor vigor from low soil moisture during the season and hailstorm before harvest.

Site InformationDetails
Location:High Plains Ag. Lab, 3257 Road 109, Sidney, NE 69162
Planting Date: April 8, 2025
Target Seeding Rate:

350,000 live seeds/acre

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

Harvest Date: July 18, 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 very 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.
