English term

spot rates

English to French Other Agriculture Crop
“The crop was sown at a very low seed rate, to encourage tillering, and regularly irrigated,” explains Eric. “There were things I saw when out in the combine that made me think I could do better, though, and spot rates were at times much higher than the average.”

-> Story of a record breaking crop. Really struggling with the meaning of "spot rates".

les manques

Je pense qu'il s'agit des zones où la semence n'a pas levé.
Suggestion de traduction : "à certains endroits les manques était bien plus importants que la moyenne"

Prix payé par l'acheteur d'un bien ou d'un service s'il s'acquitte du paiement au moment de la commande ou de la livraison.
Note from asker:
Thanks François, but in the context of the whole text, this has nothing to do with prices. The emphasis is on the breaking of the record for this type of crop...
Peer comment(s):

agree Daryo : could be that, as higher prices for the crop [...much higher than the average] would be an incentive to start scratching your brain to find ways of increasing production // makes sense, taking into account available context.

disagree Marielle Akamatsu : The text deals with the tillering after sowing as seen from a combine - and not with prices for the crop.
