Comment:
Harvested N-Rate Switchgrass (Switchgrasss-fertility) plots. Equipment Used: Harvested with JD 7330 tractor using the 7.6 ft wide Kemper head and Wintersteiger biomass harvester weighing system. The middle 7.6' of each micro-plot were harvested. Plot weights were obtained from the on-board FRS Harvest Master computer weighing system, by Juniper Systems. Cutting height of plant stubble was 4-6 inches. Grab samples from each rep was 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. This is the third year the study was no longer harvested as H1 and H2, all plots were 50 feet long. Center alleyways were cut using JD GPS to ensure uniform size.
