Number of seeds to plant/acre: Find your row spacing on the chart. Multiply the corresponding row feet per acre figure
by the number of seeds (plants) you plan to sow per foot to arrive at the number of seeds you will need per acre. Example: You plan to sow 20 seeds per foot on rows 24” apart; 20 x 21,780=435,600 seeds/acre.
