When comparing yields or sugars of two varieties, the values must differ by a value equal to or greater than the LSD given at the bottom of each column. If they do not, then they were probably not different in this test.

Planted April 5, 1999; Harvested October 12-13, 1999.

1 All entries are commercial seed obtained locally.
2Root yields have been tared 5%.
3 Curly Top Ratings: 0 = no curly top symptoms; 9 = plants killed. To calculate and compare the average curly top resistance of two or more varieties, use only those years data in which the compared varieties all have ratings.
4Entered in 1999 rhizomania variety test.
