Planted corn in the LTER MCSE T1 plots, pleases see notes below as not all the reps were planted on the same day.
The corn in the REX plots were planted on Monday May 15, 2023. The REX plots were so much different compared to the rest of the T1 plot area that we decided to plant the REX plots first and plant the rest of the T1 plot area later. Because of soil conditions we needed to set-up the planter differently. The T1 REX plots were more like the T2 (no-till plots). Order of planting for the REX plots: T1R4, T1R1, T1R2, and T1R3.
Planted the main plot area (outside the REX plots):
Tuesday May 16, 2023 planted reps 5, 1, 3, and 2, except the last three passes (18 rows (45 ft)) on the east side of T1R2. Because of hydraulic problems on the tractor we did not finish planting all the reps on Tuesday May 16, 2023.
Wednesday May 17, 2023 with the tractor hydraulic repaired we finished planted the last two reps of the T1 plots, planted reps 4 and 6, and the last three passes (18 rows (45 ft)) on the east side of T1R2.
