California in terms of irrigation, fertilization and
weed control treatment; (2) to compare the productivity
of plots established with different genetic materials;
(3) determine the variations, if any, as to plant
response of different genetic materials in relation to
#1 above and; (4) to develop sections of Jojoba with
maturation, and above average seed size.
A chart containing a configuration of the field testing to be
completed on Utah I's plantation pursuant to the amended research
plan was attached. Pursuant to the amended research plan, all of
Utah I's land was to be planted at one time. In addition, the
amended research plan contained no provision for the repetition
of any of the purported experiments to average out the influence
of any uncontrollable factors such as the weather.
To carry out the objectives of the amended research plan, 3
plots of 10 rows of jojoba seed each were to be divided for
purposes of comparing the use of "Roundup" and "Princep" as
herbicide treatments. In 1983, both "Roundup" and "Princep" were
herbicides or weed killers generally available to the public for
farming purposes. The amended research plan also provided for 6
subplots of 20 rows each, which would be subjected to various
irrigation and fertilization techniques. The first two subplots
were to be irrigated at various levels throughout the growing
season, and no fertilizer would be applied to the subplots. The
third and fourth subplots were to be irrigated in the same
fashion but fertilized with "Uran 32". The fifth and sixth
subplots also were to be irrigated in the same fashion but
