Comment:
The Field B1 (East of the FSC) field was laid out into a small study where corn was applicated with two different types of applicators, the FSC built 6 row applicator (which has knifes following the coulter and places fertilizer 4-6 inches into the ground and is controlled by a john deere rate controller with a hydraulic Ace pump) - and the Clark 6 row applicator (which has injection type nozzles following the coulter where fertilizer is shot into the slot at a high pressure from 6-10 inches above the ground and is controlled by a john blue ground driven pump). Seven treatments were laid out and replicated randomly four times. All treatments received 30 lbs N/A at planting via starter fertlilizer (14 gal/A 19-17-0). Treatments were then side dressed with additional nitrogen and are explained below (below treatments are showing the amount of nitrogen that was side dressed not total amount of N, an additional 30 lbs N/A (from starter fertilizer at planting) needs to be added to what is shown below in the treatments); Side Dressed Amounts - T1(0 lbs N/A), T2-(FSC applicator:90 lbs N/A from 30 gal/A 28-0-0), T3-(FSC applicator: 120 lbs N/A from 40 gal/A 28-0-0), T4-(FSC applicator: 150 lbs N/A from 50 gal/A 28-0-0), T5-(Clark applicator: 90 lbs N/A from 30 gal/A 28-0-0), T6-(Clark applicator: 120 lbs N/A from 40 gal/A 28-0-0), T7-(Clark applicator: 150 lbs N/A from 50 gal/A 28-0-0). TOTAL NITROGEN per acre for each treatment is as follows - T1-30 lbs N/A, T2-120 lbs N/A, T3-150 lbs N/A, T4-180 lbs N/A, T5-120 lbs/A, T6-150 lbs N/A, T7-180 lbs N/A.
