Comment:
Harvested GLBRC Main Site Treatment G9 Old Field. Plots were harvested with a JD 3430 12' haybine. Standing, overwintered, plant material was harvested by first cutting and windrowing with the haybine; windrows were then manually raked into piles which were loaded into a tare-weighed grain truck. The truck was then reweighed to determine the harvestable biomass. This method of harvest was selected to best represent the method farmers would use on overwintered fields (cut, windrow, collect with round-baler) with the substitution of the manual collection for the round-baler due to our small plot size and the lack of sufficient biomass to permit the round-baler use. For replications G3, G4 and G5, biomass was separately collected and weighed from the fertilized microplots.
