1. Yields calculated as 56 pounds per bushel at 13.0% moisture.
2. C.V. = 11.3%, and df for EMS = 27.
3. The F-test indicated no statistical difference at the alpha = 0.10 probability level; therefore, a LSD value was
not calculated.
Bolding indicates entries yielding equal to highest yielding entry within a column based on Fisher's protected
LSD (P = 0.10).
Planted:
November 16, 2007.
Harvested:
June 3, 2008.
Seeding Rate: 18 seeds per foot in 7" rows.
Soil Type:
Tifton loamy sand.
Soil Test:
P = Medium, K = Medium, and pH = 6.1.
Preplant: 25 lb N, 50 lb P 2O5, and 75 lb K 2O/acre.
Fertilization:
Topdress: 0 lb N/acre.
Management: V-ripped tilled and rototilled; Harmony Extra used for weed control.
Previous Crop: Corn.
Test conducted by A. E. Coy, R. Brooke and R. Jackson.

Yields calculated at 56 pounds per bushel at 13.0% moisture.
Tifton, Plains, and Midville.
Griffin and Calhoun.
Due to cold damage in 2007, no summary for North Georgia.
The F-test indicated no statistical difference at the alpha = 0.10 probability level; therefore, a LSD value was
not calculated.
Bolding indicates entries yielding equal to highest yielding entry within a column based on Fisher's protected
LSD (P = 0.10).
