b'OilseedOICrops LSVariety Description Key EA CHECK CHARACTERISTICS is at the bottom of each tableEfor soybean and sunflower to display the long term yield, # of site years, maturity and any other check attributes. DThe grey box has been placed at the bottom of each table for canola and flax displaying the GRAND MEAN for Yield (bu/acre) and the corresponding LSD value (p 0.05).Except for the long-term average yield, variety descriptionCinformation was obtained from the Co-operative Registration Trials. For Relative Maturity, actual numberRof days will depend on local climactic conditions and to some extent on management practices. OResistance Level ratings: HS = highly susceptible; S = susceptible; MS = moderately susceptible; MR =Pmoderately resistant; R = resistant; - = not available.Site Years Tested is the cumulative numberSof locations over the years that a variety has been tested against the check variety. Indicates a variety that is protected by Plant Breeders Rights legislation that complies with UPOV 1978. Indicates a variety that is protected by, or has been applied for and is pending, Plant Breeders Rights legislation that complies with UPOV 1991.Key to 2023 Yield TablesCV % = Coefficient of Variation. A measure of random variation in a trial. A low CV is desirable.LSD = Least Significant Difference. Varieties must differ by the LSD to be considered significantly different from one another.Sign Diff = Significant Difference. Indicates if a real difference exists between varieties at an individual site.Canola & Soybean CommentsFor specific notes regarding the canola tables, refer to the CANOLA PERFORMANCE TRIALS DATA and CANOLA COMMENTS at the top of those respective pages.For specific notes regarding the soybean tables, refer to the SOYBEAN COMMENTS at the top of page XXX.'
