Comment:
Hand planted miscanthus in the GLBRC. We had extra miscanthus rhizomes so we planted what would have been the G6R6 plot area (the southwest corner of intensive field site). The rep 6 area would have been the south part of the field but we decided to have that area for other studies, not 6 reps of the main site treatments. We planted the miscanthus for two reasons: 1. we will have a nursery of miscanthus if we need replacement plants for the intensive plots. 2. we will have an area to conduct other experiments on miscanthus that we can not conduct in the intensive plots without interfering with the integrity of the plots. Row spacing: 30 inches. Spacing within row: 30 inches. Total rows within each plot: 36. Total rootstock within each row: 52. Planting depth: 4”. Before planting Jim Stoneburner soil finished this plot area with JD 7520 tractor and JD 726 soil finisher.
