Test Comments: This location was planted just before a prolonged rainy spell. Some strips struggled with emergence and made the plants smaller. This will definitely explain some of the variability in the plot. Stalk strength was still good at harvest and most ears were standing straight up. Drydown was slow due to the moisture all season long. There was evidence of some foliar diseases on the leaves.
