Question

The seed rate of wheat is :
(A) 50 kg/ ha
(C) 100 kg/ha
(B) 75 kg/ha
(D) 125 kg/ha​

Answer 1

Answer:

c)100kg/ha

Explanation:

On average, there are 22 seeds per head and 5 heads per plant, or 110 seeds per plant. With an average seed size of 15,000 seeds per pound or 900,000 seeds per bushel, a pound of average-sized seed with 80% germination and emergence has a yield potential of approximately 1.5 bushels per acre.

Irrigated: 1,000,000 to 2,500,000 seeds/acre

Row spacing (inches): Estimated yield potential (bu/ac)

Southeast: 900,000 to 1,350,000 seeds/acre

Central: 800,000 to 1,350,000 seeds/
