Comment:
Fertilized the LTER Main Site treatment T3 micro plots, replications in the order of (6, 1, 3, 4, 5 ,2) with 28-0-0 liquid fertilizer and was only applied to the 3 micro-plots that were supposed to get fertilized. Liquid 28% or Urea-Ammonium Nitrate (28-0-0) was applied at a total rate of 40 gal/A. Since 28% fertilizer weighs 10.65 lbs/gal, the 40 gal/A was the same as 119 lbs N/A. Fertilizer was knifed between the rows of corn using a 15' liquid fertilizer applicator. Fertilizer applied using the JD7420b tractor and the 6 row fertilizer applicator equipped with a JD rate controller and ace pump.
