Calculation of seeds/meter according to the different number of holes
in the seed plates
When using a seed plate that has a number of holes that is not included in the table, it
is possible to find the amount of seeds/meter it will distribute by doing the calculation below:
In the table from the previous page, for a seed plate that has 24 holes (26 x 38), the
amount of seeds per meter
equals 2.23.
Example:
Using the same transmission combination (
26 x 38)
but now using a seed plate with
20 holes
, use the calculation below.
Formula:
Multiply the amount of seed per meter (table =
2.23
) by the amount of holes (holes
in the new plate =
20
) and divide by the amount of holes (seed plate on the table =
24
).
Calculation:
2.23 x 20 = 44.6 = 1.86 seeds per meter.
24 24
Answer:
Using a seed plate with 20 holes, 1.86 seeds per linear meter will be distributed (26x38
combination).
