Planting |
No-till planted cereal rye at 105 lbs/A (117.89 kg/ha) in the GLBRC G4 treatment. Rye variety was not stated on the tag. Seed was obtained from the CISCO companies, Indianapolis, IN, Lot # WGB11432, by why of Battle Creek Farm Bureau, Climax location. Stated germination rate was 88%. Planting depth was 1 inch deep and drill population setting was #26. Planted with the JD7420a tractor and JD750 10ft no-till drill. We did not have a count of the number of seed that each pound of the rye contained, therefore we can not say how many seeds were planted per acre. However, the 105 lbs/A (since 56 lbs seed/A = 1 bushel) works out to 1.875 bu/A. We put 4 bags of seed in the drill (4*56=224 lbs). We removed 45 lbs of seed from the drill after planting. The drill meter indicated that we planted 1.7A. (224-45=179 lbs) (179/1.7=105 lbs/A). Drill setting: 26. |
