Comment:
Fertilized the ECB study with super phosphate (0-46-0) at 200 lbs/A. The 200 lbs/A of super phosphate provided 92 lbs p2O5/A to the plots. Average speed was 2.4 with JD 7420 B and 30' Gandy Orbit-Air fertilizer applicator controlled by a Raven 6000 which monitored the application and automatically adjusted the metering rate for changes in ground speed. The slides on the Gandy were on the smallest setting with the 1 1/4" (yellow) metering wheel; deflector spacing 22.5"; meter cal number was 184; air pressure was 13 p.s.i; Boom length was 30 ft, nozzles 24-30 inches above ground level. Weather conditions at 10:45 a.m. cloudy 52 degrees F. 56% humidity, 6 mph east wind. Conditions at 6:00 p.m. partly cloudy, 60 degrees F. 65% humidity and 1 mph south west wind.
