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
