[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:Troy tenBensel
Planting Date:9/24/2024
Seeding Rate:1.2 million seeds/a
Harvest Date:7/2/2025
Fertility:50 lb/a 40 Rock applied in-furrow at planting; 40 lb/a N, 60 lb/a P, and 4 lb/a Zn applied in fall; 90 lb/a N and 15 lb/a S applied in spring.
Herbicide/Fungicides:2024 stubble managed as chem-fallow with two sprayings and deep chiseling; 1 application of Rave in fall; 7 oz/a Nexicor Xemium applied at flag leaf.
Soil Type:Holdrege silt loam
GPS:40.344198, -99.875016
Planting Info: Planted 1.5” deep into tilled corn fallow, very dry soils. 
Notes on Trial:Dry at planting, but received some rains after planting. Excellent spring growth and some timely rains during flowering and grainfill. In very uniform and well drained field and surrounding field averaged approximately 95-100 bu/a. Protein lower than average years, but consistent with several reports from surrounding areas given unpredictable rainfall pattern.
