[2] Protein corrected to 14% moisture content, the correction factor used in analytical standards.Checks 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.

 

 

Includes Lancaster and Washington Counties. Yield, test weight, and management details available in individual site reports. Due to significant scab pressure and storm damage at Lancaster site, combined yield analysis did not yield significant differences.
