(PLS of 51.75 makes the new target 23.19 lbs/A) Actual application was 23.66 lbs/A making the application rate 12.24 lbs/A.
A pure live seed calculation was done to calculate amount of seed per acre needed to achieve the 12 lbs/A of pure live seed.
The calculation equaled 23 lbs/A seeding rate to achieve the 12 lbs/A of pure seed (see papers attached).
Clover was seeded with John Deere 5220 tractor traveling at 5.0 mph, gear B3 at 2000 rpm’s, and Gandy Air Seeder (15 ft boom length) equipped with 8 deflectors spaced 22.5 inches.
