Calculation Results

Thousand Seed Weight (TSW): - grams

Weight per Seed: - grams

Calculation Formula

TSW = (Total Weight × 1000) / Number of Seeds

Where:
TSW = Thousand Seed Weight
Total Weight = Total weight of all seeds in grams
Number of Seeds = Count of individual seeds

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the total weight of your seeds in grams in the "Total Weight of Seeds" field.
  2. Count the number of seeds you have and enter that in the "Number of Seeds" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the Thousand Seed Weight and weight per seed.
  4. Use the "Reset" button to clear all fields and start over.

Understanding Thousand Seed Weight (TSW)

Thousand Seed Weight (TSW) is a measure used to evaluate seed quality. It represents the weight of one thousand seeds of a particular crop variety. A lower TSW indicates larger seeds, while a higher TSW indicates smaller seeds.

Applications

  • Assessing seed quality and viability
  • Comparing different seed lots
  • Calculating seeding rates for agricultural practices
  • Research and breeding programs

Example Calculation

If you have 500 seeds that weigh 25 grams in total:

TSW = (25 grams × 1000) / 500 seeds = 50 grams

This means each thousand seeds in this sample weigh 50 grams.
