Using Kilograms of Seed Per Hectare Chart

NOTE: If a specific population of seed is desired, use the Kilograms of Seed Per Hectare Chart and Rate Chart to determine the approximate seed shifter setting. Fluted meters are VOLUME meters not population meters. The number of seeds per hectare 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 desired per hectare in thousands.

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

   EXAMPLE: If there are 4510 seeds per kilogram, and desired population is 469,000 seeds per hectare apply 104 kilograms of seed per hectare.
