Plate Info
% is possible percentage of doubles. Any variance in % is because of different size seed.
Marigolds–#3 (small) and #13 (large)ideal for direct seeding. Most growers are ordering double drilled because of less than 100% germination. For seeding in plugs you can get by on #4 and #3.

Pelleted seed works on #4, #16 and #1 depending on coating thickness.
All plates are numbered with the seeds listed that fit on that plate. Any listed more than once is because of seed variance. There are no misses unless tapped excessively. You can achieve some doubles if you wish by not tapping the plate (as with alyssum). There is a vacuum pressure adjustment on the underside of the seeder that will allow you to singulate or cluster seed on the same plate. This is not possible with perfectly round seed. These we can double, triple or drill more holes per cell. All seeds listed are raw seeds unless stated as pelleted. Varieties not listed most likely have not been tested. NUMBERS 16, 4 and 7 will do the largest variety for most growers; annuals or perennials.
