Comment:
Harvested GLBRC Switchgrass Fertility Study (Switchgrass N-rate Study), all replications. In 2020 the H1 and H2 harvest timing of the Switchgrass Fertility Study were only harvested once. We did harvest and record plot weights from all H1 and H2 separately however the H2 plots were NOT harvested in July. Harvested with JD 7330 tractor using the 7.5 ft wide Kemper head and Wintersteiger biomass harvester weighing system. The middle 7.5 ft of each plot was harvested. Plot weights were obtained from the on-board Mirus software by Harvest Master weighing system, by Juniper Systems. Cutting height of plant stubble was 4 - 6 inches. Grab samples from each rep were placed in paper bags weighed for wet weight and placed in plant dryer and will be reweighed to determine percent moisture for each treatment and replication. Joe Simmons helped collect and weigh grab samples. December 8th, 2020 harvested the remaining stand of GLBRC Switchgrass Fertility study using the JD 7350 chopper and Gnuse forage wagon. -Ryan Anthony
