Kernels Per Pound of Various Crops and Varieties and its Effect on Seeding Rate

Ben K. Hoag, Kent McKay, Anthony Thilmony

Abstract

Over seeding was a problem that was often overlooked in the 1993. Over seeding produced weeds and weakened seedlings. These weakened or choked out plants produced less. It is important to recognize that the size of a seed may vary within the same crop in the calculation for optimum seed saturation of a field. A 6 step method is presented for calculating seed rate in pounds per acre assuming a population of million live seeds per acre is used.
