Companion Oat as Partner Crop For Seeding Grasses

Rutgers extension agronomist C S Garrison advises using oats as a companion crop for seeding grasses and legumes at one to one and a quarter bushels per acre, far below the usual two and a half. The lighter oat stand reduces competition for moisture and nutrients and minimizes shading of young seedlings, boosting legume and grass establishment. Early removal of oats by pasture, hay, or silage helps avoid lodging and preserves the seed mix.
