How many onion seeds in 1 gram. Weight and size of flower seeds. Is it important to know how many seeds are in a bag?

Flower seeds differ in shape, size and weight. The sowing rate of seeds largely depends on their mass. After all, the larger the seeds, the more they need per 1 unit of area.

It is difficult to determine their number of seeds, the mass of which is indicated in grams. Another thing is if their number on the package is indicated in pieces. Therefore, it is not superfluous to know information about how many flower seeds are contained in 1 gram.

Based on this table, you can easily calculate the number of seeds depending on the area to be sown.

Some of them are especially large, for example, 1 gram of false calamus iris contains only 20 pieces. Whereas the seeds of some wild flowers are more like dust particles. 1 gram contains about 80,000 centaury seeds. Many wild flowers, by virtue of the fact that they have to survive, are excellent self-sowing, spreading thousands of seeds and filling vast areas with themselves.

Seed sizes

In addition to the information given in the table, there is a grouping of plant seeds by size. But this grouping is relevant in relation to vegetable crops. Although you can navigate by it, if we are talking about some flower crops.

Size should not be compared with their weight, which determines their lightness or heaviness. The weight of the seeds of some vegetable and flower crops varies depending on the variety. Largeness is a dimensional concept and a relative one. So, for example, when sorting seeds of the same crop, those that make up the bulk of the batch with a standard set of sieves will be considered average. Seeds that are larger than average are considered large, and those that are smaller than average are considered small.

What is the difference between large and small seeds? Small seeds, although containing fewer nutrients, are easier to spread. They are carried by the wind, so they are more likely to be in an area where it is not so crowded yet and germinate. In addition, small seeds of some plants are able to stay in the ground for a long time, retaining their germination capacity and germinate when conditions are most favorable.

Large seeds, deprived of the ability to be transported over long distances, carry a larger supply of nutrients, due to which they find the strength to take root where the proximity of plants is too dense. But the plant is not able to produce a large number of large seeds, most of them quickly lose their germination. They need more to sow a certain area.

The size, shape, color of planting material are the main criteria by which seeds of cultivated plants can be characterized. The online store offers high-quality planting material, where each package contains all the necessary information, as well as the weight of the seed material in grams. Reading the information on the packaging, many buyers are wondering how many seeds are in one gram in order to take this moment into account when calculating the seeding rate per square meter. meter or the number of bushes.

Is it important to know how many seeds are in a bag?

The size of garden plots forces owners to carefully plan the planting pattern for cultivated plants, and knowing the number of seeds greatly simplifies this task. Understanding how many pieces of seeds are in a package, you can correctly calculate the number of beds, bushes, site parameters for a particular crop.

How to correctly classify seed material by size?

Plant seeds are a kind of fractional elements of different sizes, so the number of seeds in 1 gram is highly dependent on the size of the planting material. There are special tables of seed mass, taking into account the size:

Very large seeds (10 pieces in 1 gram): plants of the Pumpkin and Legume families (beans,.
Large (70-100 pieces per 1 g):,.
Medium (150-300 pieces per 1 g): onion seeds,.
Small seed material (600-1000 pieces per 1 g):, dill, parsley, salad crops,.
Very small (over 1000 pieces per 1 g): sorrel, tarragon.

Why is it important to consider the number of seeds when buying?

The size of the planting material significantly affects the calculations during planting, the determination of the seeding rate. Large seeds will need more per unit area than small seeds. For example, when planting very large and large seeds, the seeding rate is 20-50 g / m2, when planting small seeds - 2 g / m2, medium up to 10 g / m2, very small - 1 g / m2. Planting calculations are indicative and subject to change based on growing conditions and chosen growing method.

Seeds of vegetable crops differ in size, shape, color. The seeding rate largely depends on the weight of the seeds. Many of our customers ask: how many seeds are in 1 gram? We decided to answer the question in detail. Information about the mass of seeds of various vegetable crops, the temperature of germination and the timing of emergence of seedlings are written in the table below.

culture	Weight of 1000 seeds, g	The number of seeds in 1 g, pcs	Seedling emergence time when sowing with dry seeds, days	Minimum germination temperature, 0С
Eggplant	3.5-5		8-14	13-14
beans	1000-2500
vegetable peas	150-400
vegetable marrow	140-200	5-10		10-12
White cabbage	3.1-5	250-300
Cauliflower	2.5-3.8	250-300
Onion	2.8-5	350-400	8-18
table carrot	1-2.8	800-900	9-15

Vegetable beans	300-700		4-10	10-12
Sorrel	0.6-1.2	900-1000	8-12

The largest seeds are in beans, the largest are beans and peas. The average size is typical for seeds of cabbage, onions, sweet peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, radishes, radishes. Small seeds have carrots, parsley, dill, lettuce.

Seed size must be taken into account when determining the seeding rate. The larger the seeds, the more they will be needed per unit area (and the greater the sowing depth). If we sow beans, peas and beans at a rate of 15-20 grams per 1 m2, then carrots, dill and parsley, lettuce - 1-2 grams per 1 m2. Therefore, it does not make sense to buy one bag of beans or beans - it is better to take 5-10 pieces at once, but one bag of carrots or cabbage is enough.

The table also contains data on the temperature at which seeds begin to germinate. Cold-resistant crops - cabbage, onion, rhubarb, turnip, lettuce, dill - already begin to germinate at 2-3 0C, radish, radish and sorrel - at 1-2 0C. These crops need to be sown early. Heat-loving crops - eggplant, cucumbers - germinate at higher temperatures of 13-15 0C, tomato seeds, beans, zucchini - from 10-12 0C. We plant these crops at the onset of good warm weather, or seedlings in advance.

This table contains the timing of the emergence of seedlings. We see that beans, peas, cabbage, radishes, radishes, turnips will sprout the fastest (3-8 days). You will have to wait longer for germination of carrots (carrots sprout in 9-15 days), beets (beets sprout in 8-16 days), onions, parsley and celery (celery sprouts in 12-22 days). To speed up the shoots and make them friendly, various tricks are used (soaking in water, etc.).

This table, which we found in Dolgikh's book "Growing Vegetable Seeds on Homestead Plots" (Rosselkhozizdat, 1986), can provide such interesting information.

Edelstein in "Vegetable" offers such grouping seeds of vegetable plants by size:
1. seeds are very large: 1-10 seeds in 1 gram - beans, beans, peas, pumpkin, corn, watermelons.
2. large seeds: a) 10-60 seeds per 1 gram - artichokes, watermelons, melons, cucumbers, beets, asparagus. b) 60-100 seeds in 1 gram - rhubarb, spinach, radish, radish.
3. medium seeds: 150-350 seeds in 1 gram - peppers, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, eggplants, parsnips, rutabagas, turnips.
4. small seeds: 600-900 seeds in 1 gram - turnip, carrot, parsley, dill, chicory.
5. seeds are very small: 1000-2000 seeds per gram - sorrel, celery, potatoes, lettuce, tarragon (5000-6000).

In the next short article I will write the answer to another important question - how long do the seeds remain viable, so follow our blog!
