Spring-Interseeded Winter Rye Seeding Rates Influence Weed Control and Organic Soybean Yield by Kelly A. Nelson, Reid J. Smeda, Randall L. Smoot

“…Yields and gross margins for wide-row soybean were 8 to 55% greater than narrow-row (19-cm) soybean seeded at 494,000 or 742,000 seeds ha−1 which was probably due to flexibility for implementing cultivation. As interseeded rye rates increased from 67 to 200 kg ha−1, yields and gross margins for narrow-rows decreased. …”
