Agronomic Yields of All Treatments — GLBRC Biofuel Cropping System Experiment

Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use

Agronomic yields of the main plot and subplots from all BCSE treatments including annual (G1-G4, depending on year), perennial herbaceous (G2-G7, depending on year, G9-G10) and woody (G8) crops measured during normal crop harvest by machine harvesters appropriate to each crop. Yields are given in metric and Imperial units. Grain yields are given at standard moisture and as dry matter; herbaceous and woody yields are given as dry matter.

Data in this datatable can also be found in these datatables: Agronomic Yields of Annual Crops and Agronomic Yields dataset.

This dataset contains the yields from machine harvests for all treatments (G1-G10) of the GLBRC Biofuel Cropping System Experiment (BCSE). Yields are measured in each treatment replicate (R1-R5) during normal crop harvest by machine harvesters appropriate to each crop, as recorded in the KBS Aglog.

This dataset also includes yields from two different subplot studies on 1) stover removal vs stover non-removal and 2) plus nitrogen vs no nitrogen fertilization. See the BCSE – Sampling protocol for further description of subplot management and location.
