Another approach is the utilization of allelopathic rotational crops or companion plants in annual or perennial cropping systems (19). Living rye (Secale cereale L.) and its residues have been shown to provide nearly complete suppression of a variety of agroecosystem weeds (33). Similarly, residues of sorghums, barley, wheat and oats can provide exceptional suppression of certain weed species Q ). Although some progress has been made on identifying the allelochmicals from these plants, much remains to be accomplished.

Nutritive value of foods and feedstuffs depends to a large degree on protein level and quality, i.e., the relative amounts of the component amino acids compared to the requirements of the animal for various metabolic functions. The cereal grains are notoriously low in certain essential amino acids. Usually lysine is the first or second limiting amino acid. The grain of rye (Secale cereale L.) exhibits an amino acid profile superior to that of other cereal grains, especially wheat (1,2,3,4,5). Despite this fact, lysine is still the first limiting amino acid in rye in most instances (6,7).

About August 10,1907, one of us collected quantities of the sclerotia of Claviceps purpurea Tul. in the heads of rye (Secale cereals) which had come up volunteer in a field of oats near Swan, Noble Co., IN.

Rye.—Rye is, comparatively speaking, a minor crop in the United States. The only species under cultivation is the common rye Secale cereale.
