This requires a seeding rate of approximately 70 pounds per acre of Pennuda and 96 pounds per acre of other varieties. Base the seeding rate on the number of seeds per acre rather than pounds per acre. Refer to Table 7-3 when estimating the appropriate seeding rate for various drills. Seeding rates shown in Table 7-3 are adequate if you are seeding under ideal conditions, but these rates should be increased for seeding under poor conditions. Use only high-quality seed.
Good stands are essential for high oat yields.
