Crop4Sight - Seed Rate Calculators

Managing stem & tuber populatons for optimim marketable yield:

Optimising marketable yield requires the biological yield and tuber population to be adjusted for the commercial requirements of the crop (which size fraction is most valuable), yield potential of the field and type of seed being used.

Too many tubers for the target biological yield and the crop tuber size will be too small. Not enough tubers and crop tuber size will be too large. Both reduce marketable yield and crop value.

The stem population of a crop is the primary control for managing tuber numbers. Using the correct seed rate, accounting for seed size and age is essential for establishing the required target stem population. Crop4Sight’s seed module combines agronomy and commercial requirements to create your required seed rates.
