Comment:
Cultmulched twice in one day. Because of clumpy soil conditions we used the cultimulcher in main site T4 plots, all replications (4, 3, 2, 1, 5, and 6) with a two passes (in the same day) with the JD7420b tractor and the JD970 cultimulcher. The first pass was N-S over the plots and the second pass was on a slight angle to the NE-SW with 1 headland pass going E-W on both north and south side of each plot. All plots were cultimulched with the teeth in the ground about 2-3 inches. Speed was ~ 4.5 - 6 mph depending on soil conditions. Reason for cultimulching the second time on the same day was to break up more soil clumps.
