**  Indicates the highest yielding variety in the column.
*   Indicates varieties that do not differ in yield from the highest
    yielding variety based on Fisher's protected LSD (p=0.05).
/1  Yields are based on 60 pound standard bushel weight adjusted to
    13.0 percent moisture content of the grain.
/2  Lodging rated on a 0 to 9 scale where 0 = no lodging and 9 = plants
    in the completely flat.
/3  Percent of a 100-kernel sample showing visible signs of germination.
    Number in parentheses is the experimental number under which the
    variety was tested in the 1998 Missouri Winter Wheat Performance Tests.
#   No significant (NS) differences among varieties.
