Thousand seed weight formula
The formula for calculating thousand seed weight (1000 seed wt) is:
TSW = (Total weight of seeds in grams) / (Number of seeds counted) * 1000
TSW = thousand seed weight
This formula allows you to determine the weight of a thousand seeds based on sample size.
How to calculate thousand seed weight?
To calculate the thousand seed weight (TSW), you will need a sample of seeds and a balance or scale capable of measuring small weights accurately.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to calculate TSW:
- Count the total number of seeds in the sample. For accuracy, it’s recommended to count at least 100 seeds
- Use a balance or scale to measure the total weight of the seeds in the sample.
- Divide the total weight of the seeds by the number of seeds in the sample and multiply by 1000 to obtain the TSW.
Solved Example
Example:- If the total weight of the seeds is 2.2 grams and you counted 230 seeds, then calculate the thousand seed weight.
TSW = (2.2 grams) / (230 seeds) * 1000 = 9.565 grams/1000 seeds
Therefore, the TSW in this case would be approximately 9.565 grams/1000 seeds.
