Comment:
Fertilized the Cellulosic Ethanol Study treatments CES1 (plots 108, 202, 304, and 401) and CES2 (plots 112, 210, 312, and 402) with liquid 28% fertilizer 28-0-0 (urea-ammonium nitrate) applied at 40 gallons/A. Since 28% fertilizer weighs 10.65 lbs/gal, the 40 gallons/A was the same as 119 lbs N/A. Fertilizer was knifed between the rows of corn using a 15' liquid fertilizer applicator. Fertilizer was applied at 4 mph using the JD 7420b tractor and the 6 row fertilizer applicator equipped with a John Deere Rate controller driven by an Ace hydraulic pump.
