Table 1.

Median rank and estimated relative effects (pi) of the canola hybrids “46S53RR”, “1950RR”, “Invigor 5440”, and the cultivar “Westar” on blackleg severity. Trials were conducted under field conditions near Edmonton (Crop Diversification Centre North; CDCN) and Namao, Alberta in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

Sites/Years Canola Cultivar/Hybrid Median Disease Rating Mean Rank (Ri) Estimated Relative Effect (pi) SE Confidence Interval (95%) for the Estimated Relative Effect
Lower Upper
CDCN and Namao, 2013 and 2014 46S53RR 1.0 25.73 0.35041 0.028 0.30389 0.40557
1950RR 1.0 33.90 0.46383 0.042 0.39920 0.53134
Westar 2.0 49.88 0.68576 0.049 0.60437 0.74412
CDCN and Namao, 2015 Invigor 5440 1.0 5.13 0.28906 0.066 0.25906 0.39010
Westar 2.0 11.88 0.71094 0.058 0.60990 0.74094

The pi estimates were determined by SE(Ri)/N, in which SE(Ri) is the standard error of the mean rank for the ith cultivar as determined in the Mixed procedure of SAS with the lsmeans option. A cultivar/hybrid with a pi value outside the confidence interval of any other cultivar/hybrid is significantly different from the other cultivar/hybrid (p ≤ 0.05).
