What plant population do you target for canola with a drill and also a planter

Question

Looking for seed count since all other crops I seed are by seed count

Answer

Friend uses a drill... depends on variety but 4.5-5lbs an acre

Answer

Use a deere 1895 drill and go 3.5-4lbs an acre

Answer

4.5-8 plants per square foot. Check out the canola encyclopedia by the canola council to see results from studies. Canolacouncil.org

Answer

6 plant per square foot. 
Using lbs per acre can be +/- 25 % I’ve saved $16 an acre and had the same population using different seed varieties that were smaller seeds

Answer

I plant with planter 2.9 to 3 lbsa acre

Answer

************** at 200,000-225,000 seeds per acre
2 to 2.2 lbs per acre

Answer

280k to 300k with planter. That typically results in 5-6 live plants/square foot at harvest. We see low seed mortality with the planter placement, but can lose some to wind/weather/flea beatles after emergence.

Answer

Seedmaster with canola meters, 5 live plants per sq ft, so can range depending on seed size (tsw). 2-3.5 lbs/ac.
