We would like to take this
opportunity to thank the County Agents, the County Ag
Improvement Associations and especially the farm
operators who permit the location of off-station plots on
their land at no cost. All are to be commended for their
cooperative efforts in helping determine crop and variety
performance in the MonDak region. Cooperators are listed
in each of the cooperative off-station results.
Results from tillage, chemical
fallow, and field scale no-till trials, as well as other
management trials on other dryland and irrigated crops
can be obtained by visiting with Center personnel.

All experiments are
statistically designed so that the "real" yield
differences can be separated from yield differences that
occur by chance. LDS (Least Significant Difference)
values are used for this purpose. When comparing the
yield of one variety with the yield of another variety,
the yield difference must exceed the LSD value (higher or
lower) to be considered a "real" difference. It
is advisable to use multi-year averages when choosing a
variety or cropping sequence.
