My question is what seeding rate would you suggest for a pure stand of smooth brome? I'm no tilling it with a JD 1590 drill into teff stubble so there isn't much residue at all. I was aiming for a 25 pound per acre seeding rate. The drill doesn't have brome on the chart so it was kind of a guess what rate to set the drill at. After a few adjustments I thought I had it pretty close but I ended up only planting 19-20 pounds per acre after weighing the extra seed I had left over. The seed was 90% pure and 85% germination so if I'm figuring it correct I planted about 15 pounds of live seed. Will this be enough to get a nice thick stand or should I drill the field again to plant a few more pounds of seed? I have another field I can plant to use the extra seed if I don't need to thicken up what I planted today.
