Comment:
No-till planted cereal rye at 151 lbs/A (169 kg/ha) in the LTER Main Site Treatment T3, all replications (Reps 5, 4, 2, 3, 1 and 6). Rye variety was not stated on the tag. Seed was obtained from the CISCO companies, Indianapolis, IN, Lot # 1368-CO-389-R11. Stated germination rate was 85%. Planting depth was 3/4 inch deep (2rd notch on drill) and setting on drill was #36. Planted with the JD7420a 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 2.7 bu/A.
