Comment:
Applied lime to the LTER main site treatment T1, all replications (reps. 1, 4, 3, 2, 5, and 6). Lime was applied at 2 tons/A for replicates 1, 2, 3, and 4; lime was applied at 1 ton/A for replicates 5 and 6. Where a T1 plot was either to the north or south of a T5 poplar or T7 succession plot (reps. 1, 2, and 3), a single headrow pass on that side was made east/west to facilitate the application; otherwise, all passes were made north/south. Dolomitic agricultural lime (Maybee Aglime by Stoneco [www.stoneco.net], containing 18.61% calcium and 9.5% magnesium) was applied with an AGCO TerraGator 6303 by Stafford Farms. Passes were 60 feet wide controlled by an autotrac steering system run by a controller in a Raven Precision Viper system. Weather conditions at the start (7:00 a.m.) were winds 3 mph NNW (10 minute average 3 mph), 33 degrees F, 75% relative humidity, sunny to mostly sunny; weather conditions at the finish (12:30 p.m.) were winds 2 mph (10 minute average 6 mph), 50 degrees F, 46% relative humidity, mostly sunny.
