Comment:
No-till planted cereal rye at 151 lbs/A (169 kg/ha) in the LTER Biodiversity study, treatments B3 (111, 203, 306, 403), B4 (104, 220, 307, and 404), and B16 (101, 210, 308, and 416); due to a mistake, the 20' on the west side of treatment plot B7R3 were also planted with rye. 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.
