Variety Data

*Yields are determined on all plots & the average figures reported in the tables for 2000.*

Barley	Durum	Soybean
Buckwheat	Fieldpea	Sunflower
Canola	Flax	Triticale
Chickpea	HRSW	Winter Rye
Corn	Lentil	Winter Wheat
Dry Bean	Oat

*NOTE: Data will be posted as it is completed.* Research plots were planted on fallow and recrop land. All received fertilizer for high yield goals. The soil from each site was sampled and analyzed for the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash available for crops. The seed used in the plots was cleaned and treated with a fungicide. Seeding rates were adjusted for seed size, purity, and germination to equalize the number of pure live seeds per acre for each variety. The small grain plots were seeded with a research press drill with 6-inch row spacing. Each variety or treatment was grown in three or more plots, to further reduce differences due to undetectable soil and fertility variations. Since other unknown factors can affect yield, the data is analyzed statistically to show the difference in yield required to reflect a true difference in yield capacity. These figures are given below each table as "LSD 5% - bushels or pounds." For example, Hard Red Spring Wheat on Fallow indicates an LSD 5% of 4.0 bushels - if there is a difference greater than 4.0 bushels between two varieties, then they are significantly different 95% of the time under these growing conditions. NS means there is no significant difference between varieties.
