Check variety is Vida.                          
1/ See MCES Bulletin 1093 or the Plant Sciences & Plant Pathology website at http://plantsciences.montana.edu/crops/index.html for evaluation of other 
     important variety performance characteristics to include protein, quality, disease resistance, etc. before making cultivar selecton decisions.
2/ P = Private Variety, + = Protected Variety, ++ = PVP Title 5 Pending.            
3/ Only the most recent 5 years shown, but summary calculations include all years noted.        
4/ Percent of Vida protein or sawfly rating for the same data years as those in which a given entry was tested.
5/ 10-Yr Comparable Average = (x/y) * z where x = average protein or sawfly rating of a given entry for years tested, y = average protein or sawfly rating for Vida for
     the same years, and z = 10-Yr average protein or sawfly rating for the check variety Vida.
