** Susceptible check varieties
a Total yield represents three harvest dates in 2009
b Stands were greatly reduced over the past season due to a hard winter and very wet spring.
c PLH Injury scale 1=slight to 5=severe.
Note: No insecticide was applied to this trial in 2011. Variety means are LSMEANS derived from nearest neighbor statistical analysis.
Therefore, season or multiple-year totals will not be the arithmetic sum
of individual cuts or years, respectively.
