Adjusting Your Seeding Rate
Looking to further refine your canola seeding rate?If you are looking to refine your canola seeding rate based on known or estimated survivability in your fields, TSW of your seed and your target plant population you can use this chart or the Canola Council of Canada’s Seeding Rate Calculator.
Seeding Rate Chart Lbs./Acre
Seeding Rate (lbs/acre)= 9.6 x Desired Plant Stand (Plants/FT2) x TSW (grams) / Estimated Survivability
All seeding rates within this chart are displayed as lbs/acre.
| TARGET PLANT POPULATION (Plants/FT2 50% Survivability |
TARGET PLANT POPULATION (Plants/FT2 60% Survivability |
TARGET PLANT POPULATION (Plants/FT2 70% Survivability |
TARGET PLANT POPULATION (Plants/FT2 80% Survivability |
