Brome Rate Charts

Factors which will affect seeding rates are: weight of
seed, size of seed, relative humidity and moisture
content of seed, ratio of inert material to seed, different
proportions of seed types affecting density, tire
configuration, tire pressure, and tire slippage. Seed
mixes vary.

The rates are based on a 5.70-8 8-Ply tire inflated to
factory specification (see Operator Manual).

For metric charts, see page 46.

Field Results Risk:
The charts are to be used as a reference to your own brome
grass mix. All brome grass mixes vary so this is why you must
calibrate each mix using the chart only as a starting point.
