  2. Check (201 Larson Ranch)
  3. Trial (102 A Ranch)

  5. Application was done on a Thursday (June 30th) and tissue samples were pulled on Tuesday (July 5).
  6. 8 new shoots per block were pulled at 10:00 AM, the leaves were washed, patted dry and then shipped overnight to Pacific Ag Labs for AI testing.
