Variety
1. Percentage of cotton lost to wind and rain.
2. The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = 0.10 probability level; therefore, a LSD
value was not calculated.
Bolding indicates entries not significantly different from highest yielding entry based on Fisher's
protected LSD (P = 0.10).
Planted:

NOTE: Due to excessive rain and high wind damage from several tropical storms, use caution when
using this data.
1. Percentage of cotton lost to wind and rain.
2. The F-test indicated no statistical differences at the alpha = 0.10 probability level; therefore, a LSD
value was not calculated.
Bolding indicates entries not significantly different from highest yielding entry based on Fisher's
protected LSD (P = 0.10).
