Because the rankings of the varieties and lines often change from year to year, only the multiple year summaries should be considered to be useful indicators of varietal performance in this region. Reproduction of any table in this report must include the entire table unless we approve the editing. The information herein is provided with the understanding that no discrimination is intended and no endorsement by Cornell University or its employees is implied.

Acknowledgments:

Our testing program depends on being able to test new varieties in the areas where they will be grown under actual farming conditions. We gratefully acknowledge the farmers who have provided us with a test site for our regional trials. Without their support we would not be able to provide accurate, unbiased test results. Extension specialists Nate Herendeen and Mike Stanyard have been instrumental in arranging test sites, field days, and information distribution. Also, we thank Drs. Gary C. Bergstrom, William J. Cox, and Margaret Smith, extension faculty in the Departments of Plant Pathology, Crop and Soil Sciences, and Plant Breeding Genetics for their excellent cooperation and support.
