[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.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 Lincoln and Perkins Counties in 2024; Keith, Lincoln, Perkins, and Hitchcock Counties in 2025; Hitchcock, Keith, and Lincoln Counties in 2026. For management details, consult individual site reports. Valley (from Frenchman Valley Co-op) is a hard white wheat, all others are HRWW class.
