What's the difference between seed rate and seeding density?

Seed rate is the weight of seed applied to an area (e.g., lbs/acre). Seeding density is the number of seeds in that area (e.g., seeds/sq. foot). This calculator converts from rate to density.

Where can I find the 'seeds per pound' information?

This information is usually provided by the seed supplier on the seed bag or product information sheet. It varies greatly between different types of plants.
