2022-08-23	Mow off weeds in clover to a height of 6 inches.
2022-08-09	Herbicide application to soybeans in GLBRC Bait Crop and Brown House fields, GLBRC Rep 6, the perimeter of GLBRC G3 plots, and, LTER Cellulosic Biofuel Diversity Study soybeans. G3 plots, all reps, received one 10 foot headland pass around the entire perimeter of the plots, this was done to reduce the pressure of encroaching weeds from the alleyways. Applied Interline (Generic Liberty) at 29 oz/acre, Ammonium Sulfate at 3.4 lbs/acre, and a small amount of de-foaming agent. Rate of spray was 20gal/acre on JD rate controller. Weather conditions at the beginning 10:00pm: 67.7 degrees F, 1 mph North wind, 75.2% relative humidity, and partly cloudy. Weather conditions at the end 4:00 pm: 73.3 degrees F, 1 mph North wind, 58.9% relative humidity, and mostly sunny. REI: 12 hours. Application was completed using the 30ft top air sprayer and the John Deere 7420B tractor.
2022-07-09	Applied Herbicide to the GLBRC G1 plots and Rep 6 corn. The border of each plot was sprayed with RoundUp Powermax at 32 oz/A and 3 lb/A AMS. The LTER CE 1 and CE2 were sprayed at the same rate. Weather conditions at the beginning 2:30pm: 80.9 degrees F, 1.42 mph Southwest wind, 65% relative humidity, and mostly sunny. Weather conditions at the end 4:30 pm: 80 degrees F, 1.4 mph northwest wind, 61% relative humidity, and mostly sunny.
