One of the guys in our hunting club planted two small plots in mid-September with a mix of purple top turnips and wheat - fairly heavy on the turnips. He got great germination of the turnips and very poor germination of the wheat. Other plots in the same area planted with the same wheat seed but no turnips had excellent wheat germination. We can't figure out why. Have others had this happen? Is it likely that the germinating turnips had an allelopathic effect on the wheat, preventing its successful germination?
