Comment:
Fertilized LTER Main Site Treatment T2, all replications (reps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) with 0-0-60 Potash at 70 lbs/A. The 70 lbs/A provided 42 lbs/A K2O to the plots. No fertilizer was applied to the no-fertilizer, no-herbicide microplots located in the northwest corner of each plot: 5 meters (16.6 feet) from the north and 40 meters (133.3 feet) from the west. The fertilizer was applied with the JD 7420(a) tractor traveling at approximately 4.5 mph and Gandy Orbit-Air fertilizer applicator with a 30 ft boom, connected to a Raven 6000 monitor which controlled and monitored the application. For the Gandy/Raven set-up, the following were used: Density 70 lbs/cu ft; metering wheel 1 1/4” diameter (yellow); deflector spacing 22”; meter cal number 199; air pressure was 12 p.s.i.
