Germination testing and seed rate calculation
Pulse PointGermination testing and seed rate calculation20 The correct plant density is an important factor in maximising yield of pulse crops. To obtain the targeted density it is necessary not only to have quality sowing seed but also be able to accurately calculate seeding rates. It is surprising the difference a slight variation in seed size or Germination makes to the seeding rate required to achieve a target plant density. seed size, quality and Germination varies between varieties, from year to year, from paddock to paddock and should be checked for each seed line to be of sowing seedThe large size of pulse seed makes it vulnerable to mechanical damage by the header at harvest and during subsequent handling.
part of the crop where weeds and diseases are absent and the crop has matured evenly. Grain to be used for seed should be harvested fi rst, to avoid any weed and disease contamination from other pulse crops or parts of the paddock. Store the seed, with minimal handling, separate to the bulk seed. A seed that has been damaged will produce
