Comment:
2001 wheat harvest took place between July 13-19, 2001. Please notes below for specific dates for individual harvest dates for specific plots. At harvest each plot was split into two distinct sides, the west side and the east side. For 2001 no headland pass was harvested on the plots. Grain yield and moisture from treatments 1-4 across all six replications were recorded. However, the standard agronomic yields recorded on the web page, for the year 2001, were taken only from the east side of the plots. The decision to post the yield from only the east side of the plots stems from the fact that on the west side of the plot contains a micro plot area. In northwest corner of treatments 1 and 2 are the micro plots that did not receive any weed control, cultivation or herbicides. Because of the competition from the weed in the micro plots the decision was made to record the official yields from the east side of the plots. The micro plot area measures 50 ft (15 meters) from the north edge of the plots towards to south and 133.3 ft (40 meters) from the west edge of the plots towards the east. The micro plot area in treatments 1 and 2 that did not receive any weed control were mowed down before harvest (I think).
