To demonstrate the occurrence of differences between two cultivars for holding ability, K326 was compared with NC37NF, a cultivar known for having only fair holding ability. Data from Whiteville 1994 and 1995 (W94 and W95) and from Rocky Mount 1995 (RM95) were used to make comparisons. Not all data from every environment were useful in distinguishing differences in holding ability; thus, only three of five environments where these two cultivars were grown together were used.
