Planting Details — Cellulosic Biofuel Diversity 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Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use
Planting information on the crops of the Cellulosic Biofuels Diversity Experiment as downloaded from the KBS Aglog. See Datatable KBS058-013.55 for seed species and seeding rate of all GLBRC Experiments.
This datatable is part of the Cellulosic Biofuels Diversity Experiment dataset.
This dataset contains data from the Cellulosic Biofuels Diversity Experiment established in 2008 at the LTER Main Site and consisting of 12 different cropping systems (CE1-CE12) that vary in species makeup and nitrogen input. Treatments include continuous corn, corn-soybean rotations, two varieties of switchgrass fertilized differently, a C3 – C4 grass mix, and prairie grasses native to Michigan with different numbers of species. See the plot map for treatment details and Related Tables for seed species and planting details. Treatment plots are 9 × 27 m replicated in each of 4 randomized blocks. Plots are harvested annually in the fall and crop yields are recorded.

| 2023-06-09 | CE112 | Pioneer P18A73E Untreated Soybean Seed | 140000.0 | seeds | Planted soybeans in the LTER CE2 plots reps 112,210,312 and 402. Variety: Planted Pioneer P18A73E Enlist E3 untreated soybeans. Planting population: 140,000. Planting depth: 1.00 inch. Planted with John Deere 1590 no-till drill. Half of the rows were blocked to plant in 15 inch rows. Drill setting #26 with feed cups on D setting. That is one notch down from the top. Feed cup settings in drill manual. Down pressure was at top of green marking on the gauge. Gauge wheels were set with 2 notches open on the top left and 3 notches open on the top right. Planted all plots going South to North to get row spacing correct since only using the back gang on drill. |

| 2023-05-22 | CE105 | Pioneer P0306Q corn hybrid | 0.0 | % | Planted corn in the LTER CE Study Treatments 1 and 3 (trt 1 plots: 108, 202, 304, and 401), (trt 3 plots: 105, 207, 301, and 403). Equipment used: Planted with JD 7330 tractor and JD 1730 planter. Variety Planted: Pioneer P0306Q seed corn Seed Rate: 32,000 seeds/acre. Planting depth: 1.75 inches. Pioneer P0306Q has a relative maturity of 103 days and is Roundup ready corn 2 and liberty link tolerant. Also has above and below ground traits (herculex extra, agrisureRW, Yield gard corn borer protection). Full fungicide, Insecticide, Nematicide seed treatment. Fertilizer Applied at Planting Time (starter fertilizer): Applied 16.5-16.5-0-2.9 liquid fertilizer at 16.3 gallons/acre. Fertilizer weighed 11.25 lbs per gallon. 16.3 gals/A of 16.5-16.5-0-2.9 supplies 30.25 lbs N/A, 30.25 lbs P205/A, 5.3 lbs of sulfur per acre. Zinc and boron were added to the starter fertilizer and supplied .2 lbs/A of zinc and .3 lbs/A of boron.
