Interseeding CORN in Bahia Sod With the Plant-O-Vator® System for silage or grazing

We interseeded corn in Bahia sod using the Plant-O-Vator®.

 

The left side of this field was planted in 12-inch rows; the right side, 24-inch rows.

 

The same amount of fertilizer was used in the 12-inch rows as in the 24 inch rows.

fertilizer. Right side—$88 silage corn seed was planted.

Rye grass was planted in Bahia acreage October 2003 and grazed several times during the winter.

 

The Bahia started its new spring growth while the cattle were still grazing the rye grass. The corn was planted May 10, 2004. (Cattle continued grazing Bahia until the corn sprouted.)

 

The Bahia continued to grow under the tall corn and was available for hay or grazing (after harvesting the corn) until time to plant rye grass again.

Corn patch growth planted in Bahia sod using Plant-O-Vator

Bahia grass in the 12-inch corn rows received less sunlight and used less fertilizer than in the 24-inch rows. The corn in the 12-inch rows grew better and produced more than in the 24-inch rows.
