Methodology
Methods:
For broadcast treatments, a battery-powered hand-held spinner spreader was used to seed 5 feet wide at a time. Plots were 30-40 ft long and were harvested with a plot combine on October 19. Biomass sampling was performed in late-November.
Results
Results:
The white clover cover crop interseeded on October 19th had no growth and no biomass. Therefore no inference can be made about this particular cover crop’s influence on soybean yield.
