Comment:
Planted corn on the main site treatment 4, all replications, reps 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Planted Pioneer 35Y54 corn at 28,000 seeds/A (the monitor was reading 30,000 seeds/A). All the seed corn that was used for planting into trt 4 was untreated corn. In order to try and keep the standards of organic certification we ordered and planted untreated Pioneer 35Y54 seed corn. No fertilizer was applied at planting. Planting depth for the corn was 2-2.25 inches. The corn was planted in 30 inch rows. Corn was planted with the JD 7520 tractor and JD 1730 planter. The planter shaft on the JD 1730 planter broke after planting the west 1/3 of treatment 4 rep 4. There was a good chance of rain at KBS during the night so I finished planting treatment 4 rep 4 and 5 with the JD 7400 tractor and JD 7300 six row planter.
