Microgreens Seed Density Calculator

This is a very simple Excel application tool that allows you to select the species you would like to grow from a drop down menu. The calculator will define the optimal seed density for the species you selected based on our small database, and after you enter information on the germinability of your batch of seeds (optional), and on the size of your growing tray or container (required) the calculator will define the suggested amount of seeds needed for a single growing tray or container.

The calculator offers the possibility to calculate the area for square, rectangular, and circular planting containers or growing trays. Calculations are based on the average seed weight measured for each species in previous experiments. Average seed weight may change from batch to batch for a given species however we assume that the variation is relatively small within the same species.
