Comment:
Planted corn in the Main Site LTER T2 replications (3, 2, and 1).
The seal in the Ace pump (used to pump the 19-17-0 fertilizer) when out during the middle of T2 rep 3 or 2 (forgot which rep is went out in) we had to replace the pump and finished planting all the T2 plots. We also had time to plant T1R5 after replacing the pump and finishing the T2 plots however we cut a fertilizer line after we started planting T1R1 so we did not plant anymore of the T1 plots on May 15, 2017.
