In contrast, Canadian bluegrass has the smallest seed diameter of <br /> those for the listed grass species, thus the lowest application rate of about 4 to 5 <br /> pounds per acre for planting that single species. When multiple grasses are sown, <br /> the application rate is reduced into the range of 1.5 to 2 pounds of seed per acre per <br /> species. This application rate typically allows 5 to 6 different species of grasses to <br /> be mixed. At a recommended seed rate of 10 pounds per acres, the calculated <br /> weight of pure live seed in the mixture is as follows: <br />
