Remarks
:
AC Rifle and AC Remington are semi-dwarf varieties. Hazlet has lower viscosity which improves feed performance in monogastric livestock. Hazlet has lower falling number
than other varieties. No fall rye variety performance data were collected in 2010 and 2011. XX - Insufficient data to describe.

Yield Test Categories are based on the site means for small plot trials. The defined range for each Yield Test Category is provided in bu/ac. The actual yields for Prima are reported in the
Overall and Low, Medium, High and Very High Yield Test Categories. Note that small plot yields may be 10-15% higher than field scale results.
2
Yields are reported relative to Prima.
Varieties that are statistically higher (+) or lower (-) yielding than Prima are indicated. No symbol after the yield figure indicates no statistical difference.
3
Resistance/Tolerance Ratings:
EX = Excellent; VG = Very Good; G = Good; F = Fair; P = Poor; VP = Very Poor.
4
Maturities rated as: VE = Very Early; E = Early; M = Medium; L = Late; VL = Very Late. The long
term average maturity for Prima is 215 days after January 1 (August 3) and is rated as Early (E).
