PLANTINg RATES FOR bRUSH-TYPE SEED METERS (STANDARD DRIVE)

APPROxIMATE HILLS/ACRE FOR VARIOUS ROw wIDTHS

Due to variations in cotton seed size, meters equipped with 12 cell acid-delinted hill-drop cotton discs will plant from 3
to 6 seeds per cell. Select proper disc for seed size range to be planted.
To determine planter transmission setting,

determine desired hill spacing and select the transmission ratio closest to the

hill spacing in inches on the chart. To decrease population increase spacing. To increase population decrease spacing.
To determine population per acre,

determine average seeds per hill and hills per acre by doing a field check. Measure

1⁄1000 of an acre (1⁄1000 acre = Length of row 17' 5" for 30" row widths, 13' 10" for 38" row widths and 13' 1" for 40" row
widths). Multiply average seeds per hill by hills per acre. ExAMPLE: 4 seeds per hill x (13 hills x 1000) = 52,000
