Quantities.. how many

Pounds [16 0z]in a Bushell.just had a trip around the mulberry bush,no further advanced, so where best to go than the Farmers who know these things.

What quantity {wheat] do you plant to the acre.
Please specify if imperial or US quantities.

Quantities npk fertiliser per acre.[just a yardstick]

Thanks in advance.

A bu is a volumer measurement.

A lb is a weight mesurement.

They don't equal each other; it will depend on what it is we are measuring.

Wheat has 60 lbs US per bu.

It is common to plant 2 bu (120lbs) of wheat per acre here.

Fertilizer depends on your soil tests; see what you have available to start with, to know where you need to get to. Each crop has different needs.

First, find out the ph of your soil. Low ph soils will tie up any P,K or N you add, and your plants still won't get it. If your ph is too high, then you need to look at P & K differently and figure out how to make them available. If your soil is low ph, add lime to bring it up. That will make a lot of fert in the soil available, and or allow added fert to be used by the plants.

Then, what yield (for wheat, in your case) are you trying to get? Based on soil type & rainfall available.

There are charts & some figering to see what you need from the above info to know what to put down. There is no 'one size fits all' number for fertilizer.

If this is a small hobby plot, if you know your soil ph and about what you hope to get for yield, you can add a 'removeal rate' of fert and probably be pretty close.

Around here in the mid MI area we plant about 120-160 ponds to the acre or about 2-3 bushels to the acre hoping to get some where in the 40-60 bushels per acre yield. This is with 200 pounds of starter fertilizer and 40-80pounds of nitrogen. It seems as though if notilling it takes more seed closer to the 3 bushel and if it is worked ground then closer to the 2 bushel rate. Of course this all depends on your soil as mentioned before. These measures are all US not Imperial

Here in Central Ks we try to plant around 90 lbs of wheat per acre. Then we let Mother Nature have it's way with it and hope something is left to cut at harvest time.

Northwest Colorado winter wheat seeding rates.

September 60 lbs per acre,for every week before subtract 5 lbs. to first of August.October add 5 lbs per week until snowed out.
Early planted wheat tends to yield better but is more likely to winter kill or freeze in the spring. We will see frost till early June.
