*Dried
for 48 hr at 60 degrees C. To convert dry tons per acre to hay at 12%
moisture, multiply by 1.136. ESTABLISHMENT
PROCEDURE: Seeded on 5-10-01 @ 24 lbs pure live seed per acre after 250 lbs/A
of 11-52-0 were soil
incorporated. Borders were seeded to Wrangler. Trial was gravity-flow,
flood-irrigated. ELEVATION:
4365 ft above sea level; 155 days above 28 degrees F. SOIL
TYPE: Clay Loam. EXP.
DESIGN: Randomized Complete Block, Four Replications. Yields differing from
each other by more than the LSD are
different odds of at least 19 to 1. An LSD designation of N.S. indicates a
difference that is “non-significant”. COOPERATORS:
Alan Gray, Mike Killen, Rob Smith (307) 754-2223. (TablePOW01-03.doc) |
