Show Notes for Episode 38 of the Microgreens Podcast: Microgreens Yield Per Tray
Many environmental factors affect the microgreen yield per tray.
Factors such as:
- Variety
- Temperature
- Grow media
- Fertilizer
- Air Flow
- Seed germination rate
- Sunlight, indirect light, artificial light, or grow lights
- and probably many more.
So it is hard for me to give you an estimate of what your microgreen yield will be per tray grown.

I plant my trays with Home Microgreens Potting Mix and use the seed density that the Home Microgreens Seed Density Calculator provides me for each tray I use.
Here is what I expect from each tray of microgreens I grow:
Brassica’s
Ten ounces for a 1020 tray, which is 0.05-oz per square inch of tray.
Sunflower Shoots
27 ounces for a 1020 tray, which is 0.135-oz per square inch of tray.
Pea Shoots
Twenty ounces for a 1020 tray, which is 0.1 ounces per square inch of the tray.
Mustards
A bit less than the brassica’s
I don’t track the yield for the other microgreens I grow. But if I do calculate a yield I will be sure to post the number here.
