Planted soybeans in the LTER main site treatment 3, all reps: reps 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Planted Pioneer 92Y30 soybeans. Pioneer 92Y30 soybeans is a Roundup Ready soybean variety. 2009 was the first year that a Roundup Ready soybean was planted on the main site. In past years the variety of soybeans in T3 was the same variety as T4. This is the first year that the variety of soybeans in T3 did not match the variety of soybeans planted in T4. The row spacing in T3 has been 30 inches in the past this year the row spacing in 15 inches. Because we planted RR soybeans we did not need the 30 inch row for cultivating weeds. Planting depth 1”, Row width 15”. Planting population: 180,000 seeds/A. Planted with JD 7420b tractor and JD 1730 planter.
