Comment:
No-till seeded red clover at 11 lbs/A pure live seed (clover was planted at 19.5 lbs/A to achieve 11 lbs/A pure live seed giving coating material and germination percent) in the LTER Main Site T3 plots all replications (5,2,3,1,4,6). Original target rate was 12lbs/A. After planting and weighing left over clover the actual planting rate was 11lbs/A pure live seed at a rate of 19.5lbs/A. To prevent weed pressure in the spring, T3 plots were sprayed and it was decided red clover would be seeded following harvest. Plots were sprayed with a pre-plant burn down to control the post harvest weed flush. Clover planted 1/4 inch into the ground.
