TREATING SEED to Produce Measurable Results
Allowing crops to emerge uniformly and develop into healthy robust plants.
The cost of seed treatment pays for itself several times. It helps maximize plant health and perfect plant stand. Aftermath cost benefits include maximizing desired plant placement, disease and insect pest protection, reduced thinning costs and more uniform harvests. The better the plant stand the more harvestable units per acre.
Treated seeds grow into high-quality plants for several reasons.
Pelleting: Seeds can be planted at more consistent depths which help plants emerge more evenly.
Priming: Helps induce uniformity at emergence and aids in plant maturation, which means a more consistent harvest.
Seed applied plant protectants: Helps control pest seed and seedling damage which directly affects yield and quality helping to maximize harvest potential.
Seeds can encounter disease stress in several ways.
Soil-borne fungal disease organisms can cause seed rots, damping-off, seedling blights and root rot.
Other pathogens, like smut, can infect the surface of seeds. Finally, other pathogens including bacterial diseases can come from the inside of the seed itself. If it is worth growing it is worth protecting. cash
In Seed Coating , only the seed contacts the active ingredients. And that means fewer chemicals in the air, on the ground, on the plants, and into the environment.
Using a minimum amount of toxicant
Minimizing the exposure of wildlife and beneficial organisms
Reducing water runoff from fields into the environment.
Smooth machinery operation
Easier handling
Small seed and irregularly shaped seed can be hard to singulate during the planting process.
Better Seed Flow.
Improved slippage between individual seeds
Uniform harvest
Various color availability makes it easy to identify different varieties within the same species Pellets are more identifiable in the ground when tuning a planter for seed depth and spacing.
The cost of seed protectants, seed applied plant protectants, seed priming and pelleting is one of the lowest cost highest benefit inputs a grower makes.
