An experimental study of the rod-row method with spring wheat
1932
Hayes, H.K. | Wilson, H.K. | Ausemus, E.R.
1. It appeared unnecessary with spring wheat to correct the rate of seeding in rod-row trials on the basis of differences in average kernel weight. 2. At University Farm, St. Paul, Minn., the hand method of sowing rod rows appeared to be slightly superior to the drill method, although the differences obtained were very small and perhaps due only to chance. The drill method of seeding was considered satisfactory and is being used at Minnesota. 3. The trials made in 1926 and 1927 at University Farm, St. Paul., indicate that a heavy rate of seeding in rod-row trials was more satisfactory than a lighter rate. The comparison of yields in rod-row and in 1/40-acre plats was conducted in only a single season and with a group of highly selected varieties. The results obtained gave further evidence in favor of the heavier rate of seeding.
