[1] Yield values corrected to 12% moisture content. Bolded values indicate highest LSD grouping. 

[2] Protein corrected to 14% moisture content, the correction factor used in analytical standards. Turkey and Scout 66 excluded from protein LSD groups due to known high protein contents.

[3] For differences between varieties that are equal to or greater than the LSD value, the chance that the difference is significant is 90%.

[4] Mean performance of all plots in the trial.

[5] 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.

 

Site InformationDetails
Collaborator:UNL High Plains Ag Lab, Jake Hansen
Planting Date:9/19/2024
Seeding Rate:900,000 s/a
Harvest Date:7/21/2025
Fertility:50 lb/a 40 Rock applied in-furrow with planting; 10 lb/a N applied as 32-0-0 with LV6 application
Herbicide/Fungicides:8 oz/a 2,4D LV6; 1 pt/a Prowl H2O + 24 oz/a glyphosate + AMS applied to clean alleys; 2.4 pt/a Prowl H2O with 4 oz/a 2,4D LV6 applied a week later to entire field for general weed control. 
Soil Type:Rosebud, Alliance, and Duroc loams
GPS:41.233694, -103.001000
Planting Info: Planted 1.5” into very dry soil, tilled millet fallow.
Notes on Trial:Surrounding field averaged about 40 bu/a and was planted to Ruth, but did not receive starter fertilizer. Plot area was in best part of the field, so achieved greater relative moisture and less harsh conditions. Yields benefited from rains in June, and plot averages were typical of other fields in the region. Exceedingly harsh dry fall conditions impacted fall emergence and much of the field did not emerge until green up in March. Slight hail damage from storms in early July, but less than 5% estimated yield loss. Test weights and proteins in line with rest of the field and surrounding area. Plant heights reflected optimal field placement of plot area.
