Example: Landowner is seeding switchgrass at base seeding

rate in standard 4.7#PLS/acre for 10 acres. Landowner bring in a ticket 62# of seed Bulk? Did the landowner apply enough? Need Total of 47#PLS (4.7 #PLS/ac X10 acres) Purity 98.5 % X Total viability 77%=75.845% 62#Bulk X 75.845%=47.0 #PLS used for 10 acres Yes he applied 47.0#PLS/10 acres= 4.7 #PLS/ac. as required.
