Subject: RE: Corn following cereal rye, what did we do wrong?


I agree, kill the rye when it is short well ahead of planting, or plant green. I planted green this year and it yielded 10-20 bushel less than notill. I'm pretty sure what happened is that the dying rye made the ground wetter and cooler. It was cool and wet for a month after planting, as well as some of the ground doesn't drain the best. I had a decent stand, but uneven emergence, and the plants that emerged late didn't have much of an ear. Also had n and k deficiency. I don't know if I'm going to do rye ahead of corn anymore. It might work well if you have really light ground that drains well, or if you plant the rye very thin.
