Seeding Rate

The application rate at which grass seed is sown. This might be expressed as grams per square metre; or kilograms per hectare. Seeding rates for many situations within the UK will be between 17 and 50 grams per square metre; although if a fine bentgrass is sown on its own then this might typically be from 4-8g/m². Where Professional football and rugby (especially reinforced) pitches are maintained in stadium environments with undersoil heating and supplementary lighting, then routine overseeding over the autumn and winter period might also be carried out on a monthly basis at a rate of 5 g/m².
