1/ Volumetric yields are based on plot weights adjusted to uniform 13 percent grain moisture and 60 lbs/bu as the standard test weight for wheat.
2/ Protein values are adjusted to 13 percent grain moisture.
3/ FN is the falling number value reported in seconds adjusted to 14 percent flour moisture.
4/ Sawfly rating is reported as the percentage of cut stems.
Bold* indicates the highest or lowest value within a column (whichever is most desirable for the specific characteristic).
Bold indicates values equal to the underlined value within a column based on Fisher’s protected LSD (P=0.05).
