Design period: Period 2 (2014—)
- Design description
- These plots previously receiving high/optimal nitrogen, continue to receive organic manures but at half the previous rate and do not have alfalfa. The plots previously receiving low nitrogen no longer receive organic manures and now have a rotation including alfalfa.
