Seeded Soft Red Winter Wheat into Biodiversity treatments B4 (104, 220, 307, 404), B7 (105, 219, 305, 407), B10 (117, 209, 320, 410), B17 (116, 211, 302, 417), and B20 (120, 215, 318, 420). Plots in rep 4 were planted the day before on 11/20 to get drill depth set up. Seeding rate was roughly 1,625,000 seeds/A. Our goal was 2,000,000 seeds/A Planting depth was 1/4” to 3/4” deep with a speed of 3-3.5 mph. Seeded with JD7420a tractor and the JD1590 no-till drill. Seeding rate was calculated from planting the interaction plots, T8-NT plots and these 20 plots in the Biodiversity Study. All three studies added up to 7.5 acres. 1400 lbs of seed (28 bags) were put in the drill with 292 lbs being left over at the end of planting. This gave us a total of 1108 lbs of seed planted within 7.5A working out to equal 1,625,000 seeds/A.
