Comment:
Flail mowed LTER Main Site Biodiversity Study, soybean treatments: B4 (104, 220, 307, 404), B7 (105, 219, 305, 407), B10 (117, 209, 320, 410), B13 (113, 212, 319, 413), B16 (101, 210, 308, 416), and B19 (103, 218, 315, 419). Unable to harvest remaining soybeans after harvesting with Kincaid it was decided to flail mow soybean plots. This would shorten any remaining biomass and to allow for easier and more consistent tillage. Cutting height of mower was set to around 5 to 10 inches. Used JD 7420a and JD 15' 115 flail mower.
