  † Varieties that have any MS letter in common are not significantly different in yield at the 5% level of probability. * Varieties 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 13% moisture. ‖  Lodging = 1 to 5 scale; where 1 = 95% of plants erect; 2.5 = ~50% of plants leaning at angle ≥ 45°; 5 = 95+% of plants leaning at an angle ≥ 45°. ¶ Maturity = days after planting (DAP). ††Protein & Oil on dry weight basis.
