Soy beans no tilled into clover

[Southern Hunter]

Central Ms.
Was drilling soybeans this weekend and had a few bags left over. Thought I'd no till them into my clover plots to see how they'd do. Anyone else tried this?

If you have a drill and suppress the clover, it works. Probably not the best combination, legume on legume, but you can do it. I typically do it in the fall with Radish and WR. You can bushhog the clover flat to suppress it or use 1 qt/ac glyphosate.

If you mean T&M, it certainly won't now work in my soil.

Thanks,

Jack

Always had problems broadcasting seed (turnips, soybeans, etc.) into clover. Not enough sunlight to get any real germination.

SH - Curious how this is working out for you?

Not to good. Also think I got sme bad seed because I didn't get a stand with them planting alone either. I bought some seed through a seed program and as usual, you get what you pay for. I will try it again next spring with some better beans. Lesson learned

Any chance that something maybe ate the seeds?

well they were no-till drilled and I found a lot just rotten under 1" of soil. Even replanted with what I had left and got about 30% germinitation.

My bad, I guess I wasn't paying attention in your original post where it clearly says you were drilling them.

Probably planted to deep for old seed. And it was old seed....

I usually have good luck with year old seed but this year I had to replant 3 acres that was a bust.
