How it works
Divide the planned count by packet count and round upward to whole packets. Packet seed counts must be known; no conversion from seed mass to seed count is inferred. Measured quantities and user-selected spacing only; no crop, watering, chemical treatment or growing recommendation is provided. Biological outcomes can differ.
