Last updatedSeed density is the amount of seed per tray that you plant for a crop. Microgreen Manager uses the crop's seed density to calculate how much seed is needed for planting tasks.


Seed density is an optional parameter when creating crops. If you enter a crop’s seed density, it will appear throughout the software. For example, the Dashboard has a section called “Next 7 Days’ Trays/Seed Needed for Planting.” This outlines what you need to prepare and plant each day for the next seven days.
