1. What is meant by the term “seeding rate”? How does seed mass affect seeding rate?

2. Insecticidal seed treatments can be applied at harvest in preparation for next year’s planting. True or false?

Answer 1

Seedling Rate: The number of seeds planted per hectare to ensure normal density of sprouts and a maximum yield

The seedling rate is expressed by the number of germinating seeds and the weight of the seeds

During the first year , the seed mass may not have significant affect on seedling rate

but seed size may also affect the seedling rate

The study shows that small seed size was reported to germinate and emerge more rapidly than large seed
