Replications

Planting Date

April 1

Remarks

Approximately 225 kg/ha of 10/20/20 fertilizer (10% elemental Nitrogen, 20% P`2`O`5`, and 20% K`2`O by weight) was applied pre-plant. During plant tillering the plots were top dressed with 100 kg/ha 14/14/14 fertilizer and 20 kg/ha Ca (NO`3`)`2` (17% elemental Nitrogen). Planting density was 60 seeds m^-1^ row with plots a single 1 m row and 0.2 m between plots. Each location was planted within 2 days of April 1 in respective years. Bromoxynil (tradename Brominal) was applied at a rate of 210 g/ha active ingredient to control broad-leaf weeds. When all plants within a plot were yellow-ripe, individual plots were harvested, bundled, and allowed to dry for 2 weeks in a covered shelter.
