Disclaimer

This calculator provides indicative estimates only. Results depend on local conditions, seed quality, equipment performance, sowing depth control, seed handling, pest pressure, rainfall timing/distribution and management post-sowing. Pastures to Prosperity makes no representations or warranties regarding outcomes achieved from the use of this tool. Users should seek independent advice and verify seed label / test information prior to purchase and sowing. Liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Seed-count reference values: Where an individual seed-lot count is unavailable, the calculator may use a guideline seeds-per-kilogram value based on the selected species or cultivar. Actual seed counts can vary due to cultivar, seasonal conditions, harvest quality, cleaning, processing, glume content, seed presentation and coating. Supplier or laboratory seed-lot information should be used in preference to the calculator guideline wherever available.
