This variable is calculated to reflect the relative contribution of each component using the following formula: whole plant IVDMD = fodder IVDMD X percent fodder + grain IVDMD X percent grain. 3. The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = .10 probability level; therefore an LSD value was not calculated. Bolding indicates entries performing equally to highest performing entry within a column based on Fisher's protected LSD (P = 0.10). *NOTE: Grain samples for the short-season test are presently being processed in the laboratory at Tifton, GA, thus the Grain IVDMD data is unavailable for this publication. The data will be forwarded as soon as possible after processing is The Grain IVDMD data will be made available at our website www.griffin.uga.edu/swvt.
