[QUOTE="horizontal, post: 506704, member: 5013"] 7-10 seeds 'per hand' is absolutely fine. If you assume a hand is say 12cm by 8cm then there are 1.04m hands per hectare so 10 seeds per hand is 10.4m seeds per hectare. If you work on say 4.25g per thousand seeds then that's just 44kg/ha or around £10/ha at £240/t. To keep it really simple [B]1 seed under a hand is worth around £1 per hectare[/B] in losses at current prices. And bear in mind losses tend to be worse right behind the combine. [/QUOTE]
