Pure Live Seed (PLS) Calculator

 

% PLS = % Purity x % Germination

A 50 pound bag of big bluestem that contains 89% purity and 80% germination is calculated as.......

 

.85 x .95 = .81 or 81% PLS

 

So the 50 pound bag of Big Bluestem will contain 40.5 pounds of Pure Live Seed, (.81 x 50).

 

In this case, to get one PLS pound of Big Bluestem, you will need 1.23 bulk pounds, (1/.81).

 

To make that bag of Big Bluestem 50 PLS pounds, you will need, 61.5 bulk pounds.

(1.23 x 50)
