* Hybrids marked with an asterisk were in the top-performing “A” group for yield across locations within two (**) or three (***) consecutive years of the previous three-year evaluation period.
† For a full description of abbreviated biotech traits, see table 10.
‡ Hybrids that have any MS letter in common, within a column, are not significantly different at the 5% level of probability using a least significant difference (LSD) mean separation test.
