Potato Seed Rate and Plant Spacing Calculator

When buying seed you need to weigh up a number of options quickly and simply. The stocks you are offered will have different seed counts, different size splits and different proportions of small to large.

You can use this web page to calculate the potato seed rate, the area that any stocks will plant and generate a print out for comparisons. The calculator will work out how much seed you need or how much any stock will plant. It also takes the arithmetic out of calculating seed spacing.
