Fertilized GLBRC Main Site Treatment G4, replications 1, 2, 4, 5 and 3 with 0-0-60 Potash at 85 lbs/A (95 kg/Ha). The 85 lbs/A provided 51 lbs/A (57 kg/Ha) K2O to the plots. The fertilizer was applied with the JD 7420(a) tractor traveling at approximately 3.2 mph (B4 1200 rpm) 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 11-12 p.s.i.; boom height approximately 36”.
