2019 MG-3 Yield, Agronomic, and Quality Data across REC Locations (1yr, 2yr, 3yr)

Table 5-a. Mean yield, agronomic traits, and quality of 13 Maturity Group III (3.0 – 3.9) soybean varieties evaluated in small plot replicated trials at six REC locations in Tennessee during 2019. Analysis included variety performance over a 1 yr (2019), 2 yr (2018-2019), and 3 yr (2017-2019) period.
