Cereals Seed Rate Calculator

Enter your figures based on your region, seed and establishment data to calculate seed sowing rate
Target plant population
in spring (plants/m²)
  Insert desired spring plant population after losses from non-germination and establishment have been taken into account.
         
TGW     Insert TGW. This is a measure of seed density and varies greatly between seasons and between seed lots. It will be indicated on the seed bag or can be measured by an official seed testing station.  
           
% germination     Insert the official germination figure for the seed lot, indicated on the seed bag.  
           
% establishment     Insert your estimate of the % seeds that will generate viable plants. Establishment may be influenced by local soil and seed-bed conditions, climate, drilling date, rotation, pest (insect/bird/rodent) damage.
