Planted Pioneer 25R47 Soft Red Winter Wheat into LTER Main Site treatment T8nt all replications. Planted with JD 7420(a) tractor and JD 750 no-till drill. Drill setting 41 and 3 depth setting. Seeding rate was calculated as 168 lbs/A compared to the calibration which was estimated at 174 lbs/A. Each pound of seed contained 11,500 seeds, therefore 168 lbs/A x 11,500 seeds/lbs = 1,932,000 seeds/A. All replications were planted using the marker arm on the drill to guide row placement. Treated seed was used and had been treated with Difenoconazole and Mefenoxam. |

Planted Pioneer 25R47 Soft Red Winter Wheat into LTER Fertility Gradient Study (N-rate study), both irrigated and non-irrigated areas. Planted with JD 7420(a) tractor and JD 750 no-till drill. Drill setting 41 and 3 depth setting. Seeding rate was calculated as 168 lbs/A compared to the calibration which was estimated at 174 lbs/A. Each pound of seed contained 11,500 seeds, therefore 168 lbs/A x 11,500 seeds/lbs = 1,932,000 seeds/A. The entire area of the study was planted continuously from west to east so each 15' plot was planted with one of the passes of the drill overlapping into an adjacent plot. All replications were planted using the marker arm on the drill to guide row placement. Treated seed was used and had been treated with Difenoconazole and Mefenoxam |

Planted Pioneer 25R47 Soft Red Winter Wheat into LTER LYSIMETER_FIELD. Planted with JD 7420(a) tractor and JD 750 no-till drill. Drill setting 41 and 3 depth setting. Approximately the westermost 150' of the lysimeter field, adjacent to T4R6, had been used for trial passes on previous planting days so that part of the field represents a mixture of different planting days and settings. Seeding rate was calculated as 168 lbs/A compared to the calibration which was estimated at 174 lbs/A. Each pound of seed contained 11,500 seeds, therefore 168 lbs/A x 11,500 seeds/lbs = 1,932,000 seeds/A. All passes were planted using the marker arm on the drill to guide row placement. Treated seed was used and had been treated with Difenoconazole and Mefenoxam. |

Replications 5 and 6 were planted using the marker arm on the drill; replication 4 was planted without using the marker arm. Treated seed was used and had been treated with Difenoconazole and Mefenoxam. |

Planted Pioneer 25R47 Soft Red Winter Wheat into LTER Main Site treatment T3 replications 2, 4, 5 and 6. Planted with JD 7420(a) tractor and JD 750 no-till drill. Drill setting 41 and 3 depth setting. For replicatiosn 2 and 4, seeding rate was was calculated as 168 lbs/A compared to the calibration which was estimated at 174 lbs/A. Each pound of seed contained 11,500 seeds, therefore 168 lbs/A x 11,500 seeds/lbs = 1,932,000 seeds/A. For replications 5 and 6, seeing rate was lower due to a different drill setting. Each plot was 1 hectare (2.47 acre). Replication 6 was planted in initally started on November 12th but was unable to be finished that day due to mechanical problems with the drill. Approximately the westernmost 200 feet was planted on the 12th, the rest (approximately 82 feet) on the 14th. All replications were planted using the marker arm on the drill to guide row placement. Treated seed was used and had been treated with Difenoconazole and Mefenoxam |

Planted winter wheat in the LTER Main Site Biodiversity Study. Wheat was a soft red winter wheat, Pioneer 25R47, treated seed. The following treatments were planted: B3 (111, 203, 306, 403), B6 (107, 207, 317, 406), B9 (119, 205, 314, 409), B17 (116, 211, 302, 417) and B20 (120, 215, 318, 420). Seed was planted with the JD450 conventional drill at a depth of 1/2” to 3/4”. Seeding rate was 1,690,000 seeds per acre (setting #36 on the drill). All plots were planted in three passes, one on either side and then a last pass down the middle. |

Seeded Soft Red Winter Wheat into Biodiversity treatments B8 (118, 214, 310, and 408), B5 (114, 217, 312, 405), B11 (110, 216, 309, 411), B14 (115, 204, 304, and 414), B17 (116, 211, 302, 417), and B20 (120, 215, 318, 420). 1.9A total seeded with 310 lbs of seed (163 lbs/A, 182 kg/Ha). Variety planted was Pioneer 25R47 (treated seed) which had 12,000 seeds/lb so this worked out to a seeding rate of 1,960,000 seeds/A. Our goal was 2,000,000 seeds/A. Seeded with the JD5425 tractor and the JD450 conventional drill. |
