Agronomic Yields of Wheat Straw — Main Cropping System Experiment (MCSE)
Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use
Dry matter wheat straw yields for entire plots of MCSE Treatments 1 and 2 when wheat is grown in rotation. Since 2004, wheat straw is harvested, baled and weighed in T1 and T2 plots using commercial-sized farming equipment; it is chopped back into T3 and T4 plots. Before 2004, it was baled and removed from all treatments.
This datatable is part of the Agronomic Yields of Row Crops dataset.
This dataset contains the agronomic yields of row crop treatments of the Main Cropping System Experiment (MCSE) at the LTER Main Site and includes corn––soybean–winter wheat rotations (T1-T4), managed differently since 1989, and alfalfa (T6, 1994-2017) which was converted to switchgrass (T6) in 2019. Agronomic yields are measured during normal crop harvest using machine harvesters appropriate to each crop as detailed in the KBS Aglog.
