From the thousand-grain weight, the germination rate and the target share of each species, instantly get the seeding rate for your forage mixture.
Choose your legumes, cereals and, if you wish, a taproot species, with the share of each.
Take the benchmark for your zone (semi-arid, sub-humid, favourable) or your own value.
For each species, in seeds per m², germination rate included. Save it or receive it by email.
This calculator works out the seed quantities of a forage mixture from the share of each species. Starting from the target share of plants per m² for each species in the mixture and its germination rate, it gives the seeding rate of each one needed to reach the overall target density.
It is mainly intended for agricultural technicians and agronomists, to fine-tune advice on forage mixtures. It is also for farmers who simply want to work out their seeding rate, and for agronomy students.
