  † Hybrids that have any MS letter in common are not significantly different at the 5% level of probability. * Hybrids marked with an asterisk were in the top performing “A” group for two (**) or three (***) consecutive years within the previous three year evaluation period. ‡ For a full description of abbreviated biotech traits, see table 26.
  • All yields are adjusted to 15.5% moisture.
‖ Protein, Oil, and Starch on a dry weight basis ¶ Three tests sustained higher than usual lodging due to storms. These included Milan irr. and non-irr. in June and Memphis in August. Lodging is reported separately for these locations. Lodging values do not typically follow a normal distribution, therefore statistical tests to compute LSD were not performed.
