Comment:
No-till planted cereal rye at 131 lbs/A (147 kg/ha) in the LTER Main Site Biodiversity Study treatment B4 (104, 220, 307, 404) and B5 (114, 217, 312, 405). Rye variety was Wheeler Rye from Moore Seed Farm, LLC, Elsie, MI. Seeds were Michigan Certified Seed but were not treated. Stated germination rate was 85%. Planting depth was 1 inch deep (3rd notch on drill) 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.
