2016-06-29 Planting Planted the switchgrass in the interaction plots today.

Variety planted: Switchgrass (Cave-in-Rock); Row spacing: 7.5 inch rows. Jerry was trying to plant the switchgrass at 7 lbs/A. Inside the lysimeter frames raked and loosened the soil so that we could hand seed the switchgrass within the frames. (inside the lysimeter frames we handed today, June 29, 2016 as well as the whole plot area). Jerry planted with his JD 5320 tractor and his Truax no-till drill.

2018-03-05 Planting Frost seeded LTER Biodiversity study treatments B5 (114, 217, 312, 405), B8 (118, 214, 310, 408), B17 (116, 211, 302, 417), with Medium Red Clover at 12 lbs/A. Clover seed had a coating that was 34% of the seed weight. A pure live seed calculation was done to calculate amount of seed per acre needed to achieve the 12 lbs/A of pure live seed. The calculation equaled 20 lbs/A seeding rate to achieve the 12 lbs/A of pure seed. Clover was seeded with John Deere 5220 tractor traveling at 5.0 mph, gear C1 at 1600 rpm’s, and Gandy Air Seeder (15 ft boom length) equipped with 8 deflectors spaced 22.5 inches. Gandy motor setting was 1.8 with the red metering wheels in and the gates on the Gandy were in the first position. Boom height was 23 inches from the ground, bottom of the defectors were 20 inches from the ground. Start of application was 8:00 a.m. weather was sunny 27 degrees F 2-5 mph east wind. End of application 9:00 a.m. sunny 28 degrees F 10-13 mph east wind. Total amount of seed added was 36 pounds with 17 pounds remaining at the end. 19 pounds of seed applied over .85 acres equals 22 lbs/A seeding rate. This should give close to a 12-14 lbs/A pure live seeding rate.
