We have put out two strip trials in the past week and will be putting out several more in the weeks to come. For those interested in taking a look at how a few of these products are working now, I wanted to pass along coordinates and treatment descriptions. I will be updating this post as more trials go out.

Treatment descriptions: Six treatments (listed below) are repeated across treatments of 0, 40, 80, and 120 lb N/ac. Each plot is 4 rows wide and roughly 30 ft long. To view plots, enter station off Airways Blvd and head north. Immediately before the road veers to the left, turn right on the paved road and take the next left (immediately after the large weather station circled by a chain-link fence). Plots will be located just south of the large Tennessee Tractor/John Deere Water irrigation sign roughly 150 yards ahead on your right.
Special thanks to Dr. Dave Verbree for allowing us to overlay these treatments on his trial.
