Comment:
No-till planted cereal rye at 127 lbs/A (142 kg/ha) in the LTER Main Site Treatment T4, all replications (Reps 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1). Rye variety was not stated on the tag. Seed was obtained from Ulrich Farms and was GOA certified organic rye, Lot # 5-A-11. Stated germination rate was 96%. Planting depth was 3/4 inch deep (2rd notch on drill) and setting on drill was #32. 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 127 lbs/A (since 56 lbs seed/A = 1 bushel) works out to 2.27 bu/A.
