Comment:
No-till planted cereal rye at 131 lbs/A (147 kg/ha) in the LTER Main Site Biodiversity Study treatment 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 (setting #3) and setting on drill was #31. Planted with the JD6420 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 131 lbs/A (since 56 lbs seed/A = 1 bushel) works out to 2.3 bu/A.
