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.
