Comment:
Applied Lime to LTER Main Site treatment Resource Gradient Non Irrigated and one Irrigated plot with pelletized lime. Lime was applied at different rates depending on recommendations for each plot. This is in addition to the previous 2000 lb application on 5/8/26 with a pull type spreader over the non irrigated plots. This application on a per plot basis should balance the pH on all plots closely. See attached sheet to show rates applied to each plot. The irrigated plot was plot 509 - F9 where it required 2000 lb per acre. Application was done with the right half of the 30 ft Gandy Orbit Air boom applying. This allowed us to treat each 15 ft wide plot separately.
