Comment:
Harvested T6 Nitrogen & No Nitrogen switchgrass micro plots in northwest corner, all replications (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). 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 + Nitrogen plot was harvested. While the 7.5 ft harvest strip was offset to the West in the No Nitrogen plots. In order to get a fertilized micro plot sample at harvest, we measured 15ft passed the second microplot into the main plot and harvest with JD 7330 and kemper head. Plot weight were obtained from the on-board Mirus software by Harvest Master weighing system, by Juniper Systems. Cutting height of plant stubble was 6-8 inches. Grab samples from each rep was placed in paper bags weighed for wet weight and placed in plant dryer and reweighed to determine percent moisture for each treatment and replication. Plot lengths were measured; see attached document.
