Adjust Rate Based On Seed Germination

Use the following formula to adjust kg/hectare (lbs/acre) based on seed germination.

FORMULA:
Desired kg/hectare (lbs/acre) divided by percent germination = actual kg/hectare (lbs/acre) application required.

EXAMPLE: 73 kg/hectare (65 lbs/acre) is desired and seed germination is 90 percent.

73 kg/hectare ÷ 0.90 = 81 kg/hectare

(65 lbs/acre) ÷ 0.90 = (72 lbs/acre)

Set target rate at 81 kg/hectare (72 lbs/acre)
