Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)
Standard Stars, Low Range
Notes:
Stated seed density is measured, and not customary commodity call
weight. If your seed has a significantly different density,
see “Density Adjustment” on page 38.
Table rates are for application from a single hopper at a time
(whether or not both are loaded with the same material). For
application of the same material from both hoppers simultaneously,
do not use the target rate data. First divide the target rate by two,
and use the setting for that half rate. Use that target rate for
calibrating each meter.
