Comment:
No-till planted cereal rye at 144 lbs/A (161kg/ha) in the LTER Biodiversity study, treatments B3 (111, 203, 306, 403), B5 (114, 217, 312, 405), and B16 (101, 210, 308, and 416). Rye variety was not stated on the tag. Seed was obtained from the CISCO companies, Indianapolis, IN, Lot # WGB11432. Stated germination rate was 88%. Planting depth was 1/4 - 3/4 inch deep and drill population setting was #36. Planted with the JD7420a tractor and JD1590 15ft 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 144 lbs/A (since 56 lbs seed/A = 1 bushel) works out to 2.6 bu/A.
