Why Use Seed Dressing Agent To Dress Seeds?
Seed treatment is one of the most innovative processes in modern agriculture. This technology, which is extremely important for agricultural producers, provides them with opportunities that help preserve the genetic potential of high-yielding crops and also allow for the safer application of various fungicides and pesticides.
Advantages of seed treatment:
1. High yields.
The use of treated seeds significantly increases the yield of all grain and vegetable crops, without exception. Combined with fertilizer coating, the treatment optimizes yields by enabling more precise planting and accelerating seed germination even under adverse conditions. Protection against helminthosporium and fusarium root rot, snow mold, airborne diseases, and mold from the very first day of growth directly increases yield.
2. Improved crop quality.
Treated granular seeds develop into high-quality, healthy plants for several reasons. They can be planted at the exact recommended depth, which promotes more uniform emergence. The gentle and long-lasting protective effect of combined seed treatments does not cause delayed emergence and also provides excellent protection for the harvested crop against various types of scab, Rhizoctonia, and rot during subsequent storage. Seed treatment stimulates root system growth, improving the overwintering of winter crops, increases seed germination energy, boosts root mass and plant density, and enhances leaf growth in plants.
3. Disease Protection.
After planting, seeds are threatened by numerous pathogenic soil microorganisms that can lead to seed and root rot, damping-off, and even the complete death of plants. Other pathogenic organisms, including harmful bacteria, may be present inside the seed itself. The development of diseases can significantly reduce the expected yield.
4. Reducing Harmful Environmental Impact.
Applying insecticide and fungicide directly to the seed, rather than applying them to the soil or spraying them into the air afterward, significantly reduces the amount of “chemicals” used. This means that the residual amount of harmful chemicals in the soil, plants, and the environment will be minimal.
