Corn Seeding Rate Calculator

The NK® Corn Seeding Rate Calculator is a data–based tool that helps farmers estimate – per acre – the most economical seeding rate for individual hybrids and yield environments. Seeding rate calculations are based on 2 or more years of data per hybrid, collected at a subset of 70 or more trial locations each year. Trialing across many environments increases the ability to predict how individual corn hybrids should be spaced and managed.

To understand the optimal seeding rate for your fields, simply:

  • Select a hybrid brand from the dropdown list.
  • Tap the pilot line in the graph below for detailed information.

Optimum Seeding Rate

Brand Yield Environment (bu/acre)
150 190 220 260 300
NK0001 Brand 27,300 30,500 32,900 36,100 39,200
Cross Hybrid Average 27,414 30,051 31,850 34,663 37,298
