Quickly calculate the right amount of seeds for your farm and achieve optimal crop yield.
The seed rate requirements and computations actually vary, depending on the nature of the crop, the area of the farm and the culture of the farming people. The seed rate calculator employs the standard practices utilized in most of the regions in Europe, North American Countries, Asia, and other major farming regions. The sowing rates suggested are given in hectares or acres and the tool, in order to help you convert these rates to your field size to ensure that you plant your seeds accurately and efficiently even in case you are a large-scale farmer or more of a small-time farmer.
An example is seed rates, which are typically provided as kilograms (Kg) per hectare (Ha) or pounds (lbs) per acre (ac). In broadacre farming, those rates may suit but, depending on the size of your field, seed type, and planned plant population, they may need to be adjusted. This calculator converts those numbers into practical quantities like kilograms or grams of seed you require in your region to help you seed your crop most efficiently without wasting seed resources.
Remember that actual seeding requirements will vary depending on conditions such as seed size, germination levels, desired plant density and the planting approach being used: drilling, broadcasting or precision sowing. When the seeding rates are incorrect it may result in poor crop establishment, reduced yields and/or increased competition between plants. Our tool simplifies this activity by enquiring about the required information about the recommended seed rate, field acreage, germination rate, and expected germination rate. Using a calculator using this information will become the exact amount of seed that you will require in your field.
Regardless of whether you are managing a sizeable arable enterprise, undertaking trials or holding a small planting project, getting your seed rate calculations correct is imperative in obtaining the best plant population and maximizing your yield level. Seeding without the adequate conversions may bring uneven stands, gaps, and/or money loss. It is a tool with realistic and convenient calculations that are ideal in commercial farming in Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and other major farming areas.
This seed rate calculator is aimed at encouraging efficiency in the use of seed products and stimulating Sustainable Crop Farming.
Seed rate is the weight of seed needed to cover a given hectare or acre of land and is usually measured in kilograms per hectare or pounds per acre. It guarantees that there is the right number of seeds, which can be planted offering optimum seeding rate that is vital to enhance crop establishment, uniform growth and high yield.
The seed rate is unquestionably an eminent importance. An under-planting, helps produce fewer plants; when this occurs the result ends up with incomplete planting, little competition with weeds and ultimately, low production. Over planting will lead to overcrowding, competition over nutrients, water and sunlight, weaker plants, lodging and exposure to diseases. Calculating the seed rate correctly is one of the major pillars of successful crop production because it will help you strike the right balance.
