Planting |
Planted winter wheat into the T8-NT plots.
Wheat was soft red winter wheat, Pioneer 25R39, treated seed.
The four plots were drilled using a JD1590 no-till drill at a depth of 1/4” to 3/4” pulled by JD 7420a tractor.
Seeding rate was 1,625,000 seeds per acre (setting #41 on the drill).
All plots were planted in three passes. |

Planting |
Planted winter wheat into all 16 of the interaction plots. Wheat was soft red winter wheat, Pioneer 25R39, treated seed. All plots were planted at the same time due to soil conditions and consistency of planting depth between the two types of plots. Seeding rate was roughly 1,625,000 seeds/A. Are goal was to plant 2,000,000 seeds/A. Seed was planted with the JD1590 no-till drill set on population setting (41) at a depth of 1/4” to 3/4” pulled by JD 7420a tractor. Average planting speed was 3.5mph. All plots were planted in six passes.

Seeded Soft Red Winter Wheat into Biodiversity treatments B4 (104, 220, 307, 404), B7 (105, 219, 305, 407), B10 (117, 209, 320, 410), B17 (116, 211, 302, 417), and B20 (120, 215, 318, 420). Plots in rep 4 were planted the day before on 11/20 to get drill depth set up. Seeding rate was roughly 1,625,000 seeds/A. Our goal was 2,000,000 seeds/A Planting depth was 1/4” to 3/4” deep with a speed of 3-3.5 mph. Seeded with JD7420a tractor and the JD1590 no-till drill. Seeding rate was calculated from planting the interaction plots, T8-NT plots and these 20 plots in the Biodiversity Study. All three studies added up to 7.5 acres. 1400 lbs of seed (28 bags) were put in the drill with 292 lbs being left over at the end of planting. This gave us a total of 1108 lbs of seed planted within 7.5A working out to equal 1,625,000 seeds/A. |
