In studies in the Kazan' region of Russia in 1995-99, the optimal rate of sowing barley as a cover crop for spring rape was found to be 2.5 million germinated seeds/ha (50% sowing rate), while for oats the sowing rate ranged between 50 and 75%. At these rates, the germination of spring rape was no less than 86%, with survival no less than 68%.
