WHITETAIL OBSESSION OUTDOORS

Food Plot Seed Calculator

Calculate seed quantities using Dave's preferred broadcast rates. Adjust rates to suit your seed label and planting conditions.

These are Dave's preferred broadcasting rates, not universal prescriptions. Check the specific seed label, seed composition, germination, and local conditions before planting.

Soil, Lime & Fertilizer Calculator

Use the application rates from your soil-test report. This calculator estimates material quantities, not soil amendment prescriptions.

Fertilizer

Enter a product application rate only if your soil test or advisor specifies a compatible fertilizer product/analysis. A nutrient recommendation in lb N, P₂O₅ or K₂O per acre is not the same as a product rate.

Pelletized Lime / Agricultural Lime

Dave's Soil Management Notes

Test soil consistently, ideally at the same time each year. Address acidity based on soil-test recommendations. Dave prefers pelletized lime but chooses incorporation or surface application based on conditions. Incorporation can help lime affect the worked soil layer sooner; surface-applied lime usually moves through soil slowly.

Important: Lime results are an unadjusted equivalent of the laboratory recommendation, not an automatic pelletized-lime prescription. Lime products vary in effective neutralizing value, and soil-test labs may assume a specific lime quality or incorporation depth. Verify the product's effective calcium carbonate equivalent and its recommended adjusted application rate with the supplier or soil-test lab before buying or applying. Do not assume pelletized lime requires fewer pounds simply because it is pelletized.

This tool identifies possible causes, not confirmed diagnoses. Soil testing, weather, crop conditions, and current product labels should guide decisions.
