Comment:
No-till planted medium red clover and wheeler rye in the LTER Biodiversity study treatment B4 (104, 220, 307, 404). Clover was planted with a target of 12 lbs pure live seed (21.5 total lbs/A seeded). Clover was seeded at 11 lbs pure live seed (equaling around 19.5 lbs per acre seeded). Rye was planted with a target rate of 2.6 bu/A or 157lbs/A. Rye was actually seeded at 2.7 bu/A or 149 lbs/A. Planting depth was 1 inch, drill setting for rye was #40. Clover had to be no-tilled in this year because wheat never got planted in the fall so oats were seeded in the spring so there was no frost seeded clover.
