Comment:
Fertilization and herbicide application was made to the GLBRC switchgrass scale up fields, L2 and M3, at both the Lux Arbor and Marshall Farm locations. Fields were fertilized with 28-0-0 liquid urea-ammonium nitrate. 17 gallons/A was applied. Since 28% fertilizer weighs 10.65 lbs/gallon, this worked out to 50.789 lbs N/A. Agrotain Ultra was applied at 1.5 qt per ton of fertilizer applied. Agrotain Ultra is a nitrogen stabilizer to prevent denitrification and leaching. 2,4-D ester was applied to control broadleaf weeds growing in the switchgrass fields, mostly dandelion at Lux Arbor and (to many to list) broadleafs at Marshall Farm. Weather conditions at 1:20 p.m.: 60 degrees F, wind was 5-7 mph out of the west. Fertilizer was applied by the Climax Farm Bureau using a Hagie Highboy sprayer.
