<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A. Objectives: <br /> <br />1. To evaluate the effects of various reclamation treatments on <br />the stand of bromegrass. <br />2. To evaluate the effects of gypsum, leaching, and fertilizer <br />treatments on the yield of bromegrass. <br /> <br />B. General Procedure: <br /> <br />1. Land preparation - <br />a. All formerly established plots will be reworked and dikes <br />constructed. <br />b. An irrigation of approximately 4 A.-in. will be applied to <br />all plots preparatory for seeding operation. <br />2. Amendments - No additions of amendments will be made. <br />3. LeaChing - No additional leachings will be made. <br />4. Fertilizer- <br />a. Some of the plots received 50 Ib./A. of N and 169 Ib./A. <br />of P205 in 1954. <br />b. No additional phosphorus fertilizer will be added. <br />c. An additional 40 Ib./A. of P will be applied to the plots <br />which received N fertilizer in 1954. <br />5. Planting- <br />a. The plots will. be seeded with Lyon bromegrass about the <br />middle of Nay. <br />b. The grass will be seeded in 12-inch rows. <br />6. l-later-table level - The water table will be maintained at 22 <br />inches, if possible. The water-table level will be dependent <br />upon the control of the level of the main plots. <br />1. Surface irrigation - The amount of surface irrigation will <br />depend somewhat on the amount of subirrigation from the water- <br />table level. Plots will be surface irrigated often enough to <br />maintain good gr010Jth conditions. <br />8. Yield results - <br />a. Notes on emergence and stand will be taken in 1951. <br />b. Portions of the plots will be harvested after flowering <br />and yield determinations .rill be made in 1958. <br />9. Statistical analysis - The yield data will be analyzed <br />statistically for treatment effects. <br /> <br />VIII. Experiment V - ('\rass Nursery: <br /> <br />A. Objectives for 1951: <br /> <br />To continue to evaluate the stand and yield of the varieties <br />of grasses in the study. <br /> <br />B. General Procedure: <br /> <br />The grass nursery was established in 1954. No change of: <br /> <br />1. Amendments <br />2. Land preparation <br /> <br />r ..\ r ':" r."
