Comment:
Fertilized GLBRC Main Site treatment G3 all reps (1,2,3,4,5) with potash (0-0-60) at 500 lbs/A. The Gandy applicator was unable to flow sufficient product at the 500 lbs/A rate, consequently two passes of 250 lbs/A were made per plot. While fertilizing G2R3 several nozzles clogged on each of the five passes. The first pass at 500 lbs/A caused two nozzles to clog. Each of the subsequent four passes done at 250 lbs/A rate caused one nozzle to clog, no further issues were encountered on the other four reps. Weather at 7:00 pm was 82°F, RH 23.3%, wind speed (3m) 6.01 MPH wind direction South.
