Sprayed fertilizer in the GLBRC Main Site Treatment G10, MICROPLOT area only, all replications. Treatment G10 microplots were fertilized with 50 lbs N/A applied as 28% N fertilizer. 28% fertilizer weighs 10.67 lbs / gallon so the 50 lbs N/A worked out to 16.7 gal 28%/A. Each treatment plot was divided into two areas: fertilzed microplot areas 15' wide located on the west side of treatment plots {G10R4, G10R2, G10R3, and G10R5} and located on the east side of the treatment plot G10R1; unfertilized areas which were the remaining 76.86' on the east side of the plots {G10R2, G10R3, G10R4, and G10R5} and located on the west side of treatment plot G10R1. The fertilized 15' microplot received 50 lbs N/A. The unfertilized 76.86' was NOT fertilized. Conditions: Partly sunny with air temperature 58 degrees F. Relative Humidity was 35%. Wind was out of the east at 5-6 mphs.
