The Seed Rate Calculator helps you determine the seed needed for planting based on various factors such as the number of plants per square foot, germination rate, mortality rate, and seed weight. This tool optimizes the seeding process by providing accurate estimates for seeds per acre and the total seed weight required based on your input.

Calculator

1. the number of plants you want to grow per square foot of land
2. Lab Germination Rate (%): the percentage of seeds expected to germinate successfully under optimal lab conditions
3. Plant Mortality Rate (%): the percentage of plants expected to die after germination
4. Seed Weight Type: the format for the seed weight you are using. Options include:
   • 1000-kernel weight in grams
   • 1000-kernel weight in ounces
   • Seeds per ounce
   • Seeds per
5. the weight of the seeds based on the selected seed weight type
6. the weight of a bag of seeds in pounds
7. the total number of acres that you intend to plant

Results

1. Adjusted Seeding Rate (%): the recommended seeding rate after adjusting for germination and mortality rates
2. Effective Survival Rate (%): the survival rate of the plants, calculated after accounting for germination and mortality rates
3. the number of seeds required to plant one acre of land
4. the weight of seeds needed per acre in pounds
5. the number of seeds required for the entire planting area
6. the weight of the seeds needed for the whole acreage in pounds
7. the number of seed bags required
