Sprayed fertilizer in the GLBRC Main Site Treatment G10, MICROPLOT area only, all replications (replications 4, 1, 2, 3, 5). Treatment G10 microplots were fertilized with 50 lbs N/A applied as 28% N fertilizer (CAS #57-13-6 Urea, #6484-52-5 Ammonium Nitrate). 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: fertilized microplot areas 15' wide located on the west side of treatment plots [G10R2, G10R3, G10R4, 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: Cloudy with air temperature 53 degrees F. Relative Humidity was 93%. Wind was out of the NE at 5-7 mphs. Time of application was between 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Equipment Used: JD 5220 tractor traveling 3.4 - 3.7 mph (gear B3, 1450 - 1600 rpm) with a pull type Top Air sprayer equipped with a hydraulic centrifugal sprayer pump and a Raven 440 automatic carrier control unit. Turbo TeeJet 11003 nozzles were used, spaced 30 inches apart with a total boom length of 30 feet. 20 psi were used. Purpose of Application: Supply nitrogen to the microplot treatment areas.
