Geo-referenced Agronomic Yields – Cleaned Data — MCSE Scale-up Experiment
Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use
Cleaned data on geo-referenced grain yields of corn, soybean, and wheat from the commercially managed fields of the MCSE Scale-up Experiment, as collected by the GPS yield monitor on the LTER combine. The cleaning procedure removes all data collected when the combine header is up.
This datatable is part of the MCSE Scale-up Experiment dataset.
The MCSE Scale-up Experiment examined the scalability of plot-scale results from the annual cropping systems of the Main Cropping System Experiment (MCSE) at the LTER Main Site to field-scale conclusions. The MCSE Conventional (T1), Reduced-input (T3), and Biologically based (T4) management practices were each replicated in three commercially managed fields in the KBS landscape, with each crop in the corn-soybean-wheat rotation as an entry point for a total of 3x3x3 = 27 fields. The experiment was established in 2006 and retired in 2013. Agronomic yields and spatial yields were routinely monitored.
