Certified seed is the product of a production process designed to deliver specific plant breeding achievements to farmers and the food industry. In other words, it is true-to-type. True-to-type means all the benefits developed by the plant breeder are retained as the seed is multiplied over a number of specific number of generations (to the Certified seed stage) from the small amount of seed developed by the plant breeder.

The Discovery Labs seed calculator allows you to calculate how much seed to plant per acre of land. To use it you will need to what the 1000 kernal weight and the germination rate of your seed is. You also need to know how many seeds to plant per square foot (different for each crop type.) With this information you can calculate how many pounds of seed to plant per acre.
The best planting time varies by crop type and local climate. Generally, you’ll want to plant during the frost-free days of spring for optimal growth.
