Harvested soybeans on the LTER Main Site between October 9, and October 10, 2018, treatments T1, T2, and T3; all replications. Please notes below for specific dates for individual harvest dates for each specific plot. Number of soybean rows harvested from each plot were counted and recorded to determine total area harvested. Plot weight was determined by unloading soybeans from the combine to a Brent Weigh Wagon, by Unverferth Co. At harvest each plot was harvested as one plot area (was not harvested with the west side and the east side). Before harvesting the plot area we harvested a 15' 'headland pass' on the north and south end of each plot. The 'headland pass' area was not included in the harvested data area. The west side of each plot contained a headland pass across the entire width of the plot on the north and south end of each plot and ~ 107-110 rows of soybeans for T1-T3 and 54 rows for T4 located on the west side of each plot. The created headland was one pass across both north and south headland with the JD 9410 combine with a grain head (15 feet wide). The reason that we need to create an artificial headland was because we needed more room to turn the combine around. Grain yield and moisture from treatments 1-4 across all six replications were recorded. The micro plot area measures 50 ft (15 meters) from the north edge of the plots towards to south and 133.3 ft (40 meters) from the west edge of the plots towards the east. The micro plot area in treatments 1 and 2 that did not receive any weed control was mowed down before harvest. Harvest dates for specific plots: October 9, 2018: T1R1, T1R2, T1R3, T1R4; T2R1, T2R2, T2R3, T2R4, T2R5, and T2R6; T3R1, T3R2, T3R3, T3R4. October 10, 2018: T1R5 and 7 passes on the west side of T3R5. October 16, 2018: The remaining east side of T3R5, T3R6, and T1R6. T4: October ?, 2018.
