Compared with 'NC-V 11' (Wynne et al., 1991), Phillips had similar pod yield (5102 vs. 5014 kg ha^sup -1^, ns), and fancy pod content (45 vs. 47%, ns), but greater jumbo pod content (34 vs. 26%, P < 0.01), jumbo pod brightness (44.5 vs. 43.5 Hunter L score, P < 0.01) (Isleib et al, 1997), fancy pod brightness (45.8 vs. 44.9 Hunter L score, P < 0.01), average pod brightness (46.1 vs. 45.0 Hunter L score, P < 0.01), extra large kernel (ELK) content (47 vs. 34%, P < 0.01), sound mature kernel content (69 vs. 67%, P < 0.01), and meat content (74 vs. 73%, P < 0.01), and crop value at federal support price ($2095 vs. $1999 ha^sup -1^, P < 0.01).
