Plots were 2 rows across the field and arranged in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. Treatments were applied on 13 Jun with a tractor-mounted electric Gandy applicator with 7 inch spreaders, followed by a KMC rolling cultivator. The crop was ca. 10 inches tall at application time. The field was center-pivot irrigated and had been planted to field corn since 1978. Soil type was a Platner sandy loam. Treatments were evaluated on 18 Jul by digging 6 plants/plot and evaluating the roots on the Iowa 1-6 scale.
