Seeds per Foot of Row Proper calibration of seeding equipment requires that the operator be able to calculate the number of seeds that will be planted per foot of row using the desired plants per acre. It is therefore necessary to know the spacing between plants within the row and also the number of plants to be maintained in a given length of row. Seed prices have increased over the last 10 years and in order to remain competitive seeding population should not be ignored. An optimal plant population is one that maximizes both yield and profitability.Good management practices are important in reducing risk and reaching your goals. Increased seeding rate will influence yield to a point;
however, yield will eventually reach a maximum at which addition
of more seed will do nothing to increase yield. |
