Companion Crop Seeding
Compared to direct seeding, companion crop establishment has been shown to reduce seedlings established, plant vigor and forage yield. However, companion crops provide a cash return in establishment year, provide protection against wind and water erosion, soil drifting, soil crusting and help in weed control. Reduce companion crop seeding rates by 1/2 or more depending on moisture. Seed companion crop first, then cross seed to establish legume.
