SEEDMASTER APP
The SeedMaster Seed Rate Calculator is a two-part app. Part one of the app will allow a grower to
rapidly and effectively calculate a seeding rate to achieve a desired plant population within a given field.
Part one of the app will also allow a grower to calculate how many pounds of seed is required and the
total cost associated.
Part two of the app is associated with SeedMaster machines that are controlled by the Raven Viper in-
cab monitor or ISOBUS RCM. A “cal weight” number controls the rate of the granular metering system.
Every granular product requires an accurate cal weight number to allow the product to be metered at the
desired rate.
The Cal Weight Estimator will allow a grower to receive an estimated calibration number for a specific
product being metered, meter type used, and drill width. SeedMaster recommends that an initial
calibration catch test be performed to ensure calibration accuracy. The purpose of providing this
tool is to alert a grower of a potential error during the calibration process before unwanted field results
can occur. This tool will be especially valuable for new operators or when new products are metered.
The Cal Weight Info Submission will allow growers to very easily and quickly send their calibration
information to SeedMaster. This allows SeedMaster to provide a more accurate estimated calibration
number to all users of the app. This results in a benefit for all users of the app in the future. All
submissions are reviewed by SeedMaster to ensure validity before becoming part of the Cal Weight
Estimator.
The Cal Weight Notebook is a grower’s own personal notebook with saved calibration values from his or
her own specific machine(s). All Cal Weight submissions are automatically stored for the grower for
future reference at any time.
