Population Rate Chart Based On Seeds Per Kilogram

NOTE: Meters deliver volume of seed, not specific population. Delivery rates vary up to 10 percent from rate chart values due to; seed characteristics, drive wheel circumference, operator judgment, and machine settings. Always perform calibration and verification checks to determine exact application.

NOTE: (See ADJUST RATE BASED ON SEED GERMINATION in this section for additional information.)

1. Locate seeds per kilogram on seed package label. Locate value on left-hand side of chart.

2. Locate desired (thousands) seeds per hectare under Desired Population heading on chart.

3. Locate where the seeds per kilogram row and the desired population column meet in the table. This number is the kilograms of seed to apply on each hectare in order to achieve desired population.

   EXAMPLE: Seed label shows 4500 seeds per kilogram. Desired population is 475 000 seeds per hectare. The number 106 is in the cell where 4500 row and 475 column meet. Set target rate to apply 106 kilograms of seed per hectare.
