Materials to be tested were carefully selected based on potential dormancy effects.
Pioneer has an annual evaluation on all inbred lines comparing relative maturity. Six lines with
the longest maturities over the last three years were used in this study. Three of them are
characterized as high oleic materials, which are also known to exhibit dormancy. The following
inbreds were evaluated: conventional line 1 (L1), conventional line 2 (L2), conventional line 3
(L3), high Oleic line 1 (L4), high Oleic line 2 (L5), high Oleic line 3 (L6)
