Using Kilograms of Seeds Per Hectare Chart

NOTE: If a specific population of seed is desired, use the Kilograms of Seeds Per Hectare Chart and Rate Chart to determine the approximate transmission speed setting. Seed cart meters are VOLUME meters and not POPULATION meters. The number of seeds planted per acre will vary according to the size of seed.

1. Determine from seed bag how many seeds equal one kilogram. Locate value on left-hand column of chart.

2. Locate under "desired population" the number of seeds wanted per hectare in thousands.

3. Where side column and upper column meet is number of kilograms of seed to apply for each hectare.

EXAMPLE: When you have 4500 seeds per kilogram, and you want to plant 475,000 seeds per hectare, you will apply 106 kilograms of seed per hectare.
