Four replications of each hybrid are planted in a

randomized block design. Model : yield = hybrid blk.

SAS 9.4 was used for statistical analysis. LSD provided

when hybrid significant at p < 0.05. Yields highlighted in

yellow are not statistically different from the top ranked

hybrid. Plots were planted using Almaco meter units on a

JD Max-Emerge II units. Plots were harvested with a JD

3300 plot combine fitted with a Harvest Master

GrainGage System. Precipitation data was recorded from

January 1 through the harvest date.

*Rain events during anthesis resulted in partial seed set.

Grain mold was observed, along with Crazy Top.All of

these factors reduced potential yields.
