Comment:
Row cultivated all corn and soybean plots in the LTER Biodiverdity. After receiving 0.24 inches of rain at KBS last night we decided to row cultivate again today to try and improve the weed control. Cultivating with more moisture in the soil can improve the ability of the cultivator to remove weeds from the plots. Cultivated twice (once in each direction) to increase the ability to remove weeds from the rows on corn and soybeans. Corn Plots in LTER Biodiversity Study treatments, B5 (114, 217, 312, 405), B8 (118, 214, 310, 408), B11 (110, 216, 309, 411), B13 (113, 212, 319, 413), B15 (112, 213, 301, 415), B18 (108, 208, 311, 418). Soybean in LTER Biodiversity Study treatments, B3 (111, 203, 306, 403), B6 (107, 207, 317, 406), B9 (119, 205, 314, 409), B12 (109, 202, 313, 412), B14 (115, 204, 304, 414), B16 (101, 210, 308, 416), B19 (103, 218, 315, 419). Equipment Used: JD7420a tractor and JD 856 6 row cultivator.
