Statement of Problem |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are concerned if we are using the correct seeding rates for our
winter wheat in Central Kansas. |

Project Objectives |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a continuation of the work we did in 2004 -- merely adding
"site years" to our data base. |

Methodology |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have seeded wheat at Base rate, Base rate + 25% and Base rate + 50%
on several passes when planting in the fall of 2004. (Base Rate =
800,000 + 1/2% per day after Oct. 10.) All other cultural practices
are to remain the same. After harvesting with a yield monitor and
AutoTrac equipped combine, we will select harvest strips with
differing seeding rates for analysis. Further analysis will be done
based on KSU researcher's suggestions. |

Expected outcome / Benefit to KARA |
|
|
|
|
|
|
To demonstrate a simple method of doing on Farm research with tools
already available to Precision Ag practitioners. |
