Soil finished LTER Biodiversity Study treatments B1, B5, B8, B11, B14, B17, B20 and B21. Treatment B5, B8, B11, B14, B17, and B20 were soil finished in preparation for winter wheat planting. Treatment B1 is fall fallow so B1 was soil finished after it's once a year chisel plowing practice. Treatment B21 is continuous fallow so B21 plots were soil finished to remove weeds growing in the plots. Soil finished with JD 7520 tractor and JD 726 soil finisher. Soil finished 5 inches deep. Treatments and plots soil finished were: B1: 106, 201, 303, 401; B5: 114, 217, 312, 405; B8:118, 214, 310, 408; B11: 110, 216, 309, 411; B14: 115, 204, 304, 414; B17: 116, 211, 302, 417; B20: 120, 215, 318, 420; and B21: 100, 200, 300, 421. Treatment and plots soil finished twice were: B1: 106, 201, 303, 401; B17: 116, 211, 302, 417; B20: 120, 215, 318, 420; and B21: 100, 200, 300, 421. Plots were soil finished twice because biomass (red clover and weeds) growing within the plots needed more tillage to level the plots.
