No starter fertilizer was applied at planting for the 2022 planting date. Fertilizer pump was not operating correctly so the decision was made to plant the corn on May 17th and apply the fertilizer at a later date. Expected rainfall tomorrow (May 18th) so with the calendar date in mid May we decide it was more important to plant the corn on May 17th before the rain event and apply the fertilizer at a later date.
Avipel Seed Treatment was applied in the seed hoppers at a rate of 1 tablespoon for 25 lbs of seed. We used 3 bags of seed ~ 168 lbs of seeds so we used ~ tablespoons of Avipel. Aveipel Seed Treatment is applied to the seed to discourage sandhill-cranes, turkeys, and other birds from eating the corn seeds before the seed germinate and as small seedlings.

VRT corn planting with Deere 6175m and 1780 6 row starter was applied with 2x2 frame mounted fertilizer openers " 2 gallons extra of 10-34-0 per acre was added to make up for low soil test P.
soil was hard from the above normal temp and low rain fall had to max out down force to get to depth.
headlands on this field are washing out, and are very ruff. Poor planter performance in these areas herbicide activity will be reduced as well .

Planted corn in the LTER MCSE T1 plots, pleases see notes below as not all the reps were planted on the same day.
The corn in the REX plots were planted on Monday May 15, 2023. The REX plots were so much different compared to the rest of the T1 plot area that we decided to plant the REX plots first and plant the rest of the T1 plot area later. Because of soil conditions we needed to set-up the planter differently. The T1 REX plots were more like the T2 (no-till plots). Order of planting for the REX plots: T1R4, T1R1, T1R2, and T1R3.
Planted the main plot area (outside the REX plots):
Tuesday May 16, 2023 planted reps 5, 1, 3, and 2, except the last three passes (18 rows (45 ft)) on the east side of T1R2. Because of hydraulic problems on the tractor we did not finish planting all the reps on Tuesday May 16, 2023.
Wednesday May 17, 2023 with the tractor hydraulic repaired we finished planted the last two reps of the T1 plots, planted reps 4 and 6, and the last three passes (18 rows (45 ft)) on the east side of T1R2.
