Farmers are interested in winter rye for grain yield to meet local demands and niche market. During the 2024-2025 growing season, an experiment was conducted to evaluate three rye hybrids from KWS ('Receptor', 'Serafino', and 'Tayo' and five spring nitrogen application rates (0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 lb N/acre). The experiment was conducted in two locations- the Northwest Agricultural Research Station in Wood County and the Western Agricultural Research Station in Clark County.
