Seeding rate — rye

Secale cereale L.

The seeding rate of winter rye is a technological parameter that determines stand density and crop productivity. Optimal values vary from 3.5 to 4.5 million viable seeds per hectare.

In the reference 18 varieties crop Rye, where this is mentioned in the description.

Typical seeding rates for winter rye generally range from 3.5–4.5 million viable seeds per hectare, which corresponds to 180–220 kg of seeds. Under experimental conditions or when using modern hybrids, these figures may be adjusted to the level of 3 million viable seeds per hectare. The main objective when selecting the seeding rate is to achieve an optimal productive stand density while taking into account the biological characteristics of the variety and the intensity of agricultural practices.

The choice of seeding rate depends directly on soil fertility, sowing dates, and the level of mineral nutrition. On highly fertile soils and under intensive fertilization technologies, the rate is often reduced to 2–3 million viable seeds, as rye tillers intensively. Conversely, if sowing is delayed past the optimal window, the rate is increased to compensate for insufficient autumn tillering. Excessive stand density resulting from early sowing leads to overgrowth, which reduces plant winter hardiness and increases the risk of lodging.
