12 ft. and 15 ft. Native Grass Drill Seed Rate Chart
NOTE: Seeding rates will vary greatly with variations in types of the seeds being drilled. The seed rate chart, on the fol-
lowing page, is based on a seed mix of 5.7# of pure live seed per 11.1# of bulk. The pure live seed mix was Big Blue -
1.5#, Little Blue - 0.8#, Side Oats Grama - 0.6#, Wheat Grass - 1.0#, Switch Grass - 0.3# and Indian Grass - 1.5#. Factors
which will affect seeding rates are: weight of seed, size of seed, relative humidity and moisture content of the seed itself,
ratio of inert material to seed, different proportions of seed types affecting density and tire configuration, pressure and
slippage. All seed mixes will vary.
NOTE: Pounds per acre listed are total pounds of bulk seed (live seed and inert material).
