Crop Seed Calculator

Seed & fertilizer per acre for Pakistani crops.

About this calculator

Getting the seed rate right is the first decision of every cropping season, and too many farmers still guess. Wheat needs around 50 kg per acre, rice nurseries differ from direct seeding, and cotton and maize each have their own rates. Our calculator gives recommended seed and fertilizer quantities per acre for Pakistan’s major crops.

Accurate seed rates save money on expensive seed and set up a uniform, healthy stand — the foundation of a good yield. Select your crop and enter your acreage; the tool returns total seed, DAP, urea and potash requirements so you can buy exactly what the season needs.

How to use

Select your crop — wheat, rice, cotton, maize, sugarcane or others.
Enter the area in acres you plan to sow.
Get the total seed required plus recommended DAP, urea and potash per acre.
Buy accordingly and confirm with your local agriculture officer for soil-specific tweaks.
