Planting |
No-till planted oats at 2 bu/A (64 lbs/A) (71.85 kg/ha) in the biodiversity study treatment's B3, B5, and B16, all replications, plot numbers B3: 111, 203, & 306, and 403, B5: 114, 217, 312, & 405, B16: 101, 210, 308, & 416. Oats were not treated or certified they were cleaned ben run oats. Oats were planted 1 inch deep. Oats were planted with a JD 6400 tractor and JD 750 grain drill (no-till drill). I would have liked to plant the oats at 2.5 bu/A, but I did not have enough seed so I only planted at the 2 bu/A rate. Planting oats is not a normal part of the biodiversity protocol however, because of wet weather after the 2003 harvest c. rye was not planted so it was decided that oats would be the best option to replace the c. rye cover crop treatment.

Planting |
Planted oats into the GLBRC Main Site Treatment G4, canola stubble. Oats, varitey ForagePlus, ”Lot 2-FP-0-FP1TS0, FP2TS0;0D8” was seeded at 90 lbs/A using a John Deere 750 no-till drill at 7.5 inches between row pulled by the John Deere 7420a tractor. The full width of the plots was seeded, extending into the alleys on all four sides of the plot. The canola stubble was left following swathing and harvesting of the canola on 8/4 and 8/12 respectively, and was about 8-12” high. |
