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.

Trial Notes
*Large rain events in mid-March hampered early plant
growth and development. An additional 22" of rain from
mid-May to mid-June resulted in excessive soil moisture.
Soil Type Raymondville clay loam
Tillage Full tillage, disked, field cultivated &
planted flat
Previous Crop Grain Sorghum
Herbicide
8 oz/A of Outlook + 0.75 lb/A of
Atrazine. Applied and incorporated
prior to planting
*Rain events during anthesis resulted in partial seed set.
Grain mold was observed, along with Crazy Top.All of
these factors reduced potential yields.
*The test block was not sprayed for aphids; however,
Besiege was sprayed to control headworms
*Yields highlighted in yellow are not significantly different (L.S.D., p=0.05) from the top ranked hybrid.

conducted under rainfed scenario.
*Wet soil conditions delayed optimum planting date
*Test block appeared to have fertility issues on south side

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.

Trial Notes
*A pre-plant irrigation applied in early May
*Applied 1.5 oz/A of Transform on 7/6 for SCA control
*Only 3.83" of rain from June-Aug. Required 2 irrigations
to be applied at 30 and 60 days after planting
Soil Type Amarillo loam
Tillage Chiseled, disked, bedded
Previous Crop Fallow
Herbicide
Applied 14 oz/A of Huskie + 1 pt
Atrazine, post-plant applied 1 pt/A
Dual on 6/24
*Flash tape & scare eye balloons were used as bird
deterrents, but control was very poor
*Test was hand-harvested (1/500 acre) & threshed with a
Vogel thresher
*It has been our policy not to publish results if the test CVis over 20%.
*Yields highlighted in yellow are not significantly different (L.S.D., p=0.05) from the top ranked hybrid.
