Comment:
No-till planted cereal rye at 121 lbs/A (136 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. Rye variety was not stated but were from Moore Seed Farm, LLC, Elsie, MI. Seeds were not treated or certified. Stated germination rate was 85%. Planting depth was 1 inch deep. Planted with the JD7420(a) tractor and JD750 10 ft 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 121 lbs/A (since 56 lbs seed/A = 1 bushel) works out to 2.2 bu/A.
