A single field study was established in 2001 at the Safford Agricultural Center to evaluate the effects of planting date and variety on crop growth and yield. Ten varieties were selected and planted on three separate planting dates in a split-plot randomized complete block design with four replications. Results from this experiment indicated significant differences due to planting date and variety. The interaction between planting date and variety was not significant. Yield trends were increasing with later planting dates which is thought to be a function of the inclement weather conditions surrounding particularly planting date one but also two. This experiment provides some interesting results with respect to seedling vigor, survivability, and ultimately yield for the different varieties tested.
