INTRODUCTION
Soybean variety tests are conducted annually by the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station. The eight locations used represent the major soil and climatic regions of Alabama. These locations are divided into logical soybeangrowing regions. The regions and locations are as follows: Northern (Belle Mina and Crossville), Central (Prattville and Shorter), Southern (Brewton), Black Belt (Marion Junction–two soils), and Gulf Coast (Fairhope).

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
The standard tests were designed as a randomized complete block with four replications. Standard plot size was four 30- to 38-inch rows 20 feet long. Fifteen feet of the middle two rows were harvested for yield. Seeding rate was 10 viable seeds per foot of row. The Group IV test was drilled with seven 7-inch rows. Seeding rate was five viable seeds per foot of row. The early planted test at Brewton was arranged in an incomplete lattice square design with four replications. Data were collected on seed yield, moisture, lodging, shattering, plant height, and maturity date. Plot yields were adjusted to 13 percent moisture and converted to bushels (60 pounds) per acre. Lodging was scored on a scale of 1 to 5 as follows: 1–almost all plants erect; 2–either all plants leaning slightly (less than 45°) or a few plants down; 3– either all plants leaning moderately (approximately 45° ) or 25 to 50 percent of the plants down; 4– either all plants leaning more than 45° or 50 to 80 percent of the plants down; 5–more than 80 percent of the plants down. Shattering was rated on a scale of 1 to 5 based on performance of the border rows 14 days after maturity. A rating of 1 indicated no shattering, a rating of 3 indicated a 4 to 8 percent shattering, and a rating of 5 meant 20 percent or more shattering. Plant height was determined by measuring from the ground to the top of the plant at maturity. Maturity date was the day 95 percent of the pods reached mature pod color. Harvest was approximately 7 to 10 days later.

SEASONAL CONDITIONS
Rainfall for 2001 is shown in Table 3. Most standard tests in the northern and central regions were planted late due to the lack of moisture. The normal planting dates for full season plantings in the regular tests are the first week in May, May 15 to 25, and May 25 to June 5 for northern, central, and southern Alabama locations, respectively. Planting was delayed for standard tests at Shorter, Black Belt, Brewton, and Fairhope due to adverse soil moisture conditions.

COMPARING VARIETIES
To help determine real yield differences, a statistical analysis of variance is performed on the data from each location. The L.S.D. (least significant difference) and C.V. (coefficient of variation) are given for each location’s 2001 test, and for the location’s or region’s two- and three-year averages. The difference in yield of two varieties must exceed the L.S.D. value for one variety to be considered superior to others in yield in that particular test. The C.V. is a measure of the variability in an experiment. An increase in its value indicates an increase in the unexplained variability. Since the performance of varieties varies with location and year, long-term averages from several locations are
