Benefits of Seed Treatment
- Grower Benefits — STs contribute to early and faster planting, healthier stands, higher plant populations, and higher yield
- Healthier Crops? Protecting seed against pathogens, insects, and other pests
- Positive Environmental impacts — Precision and effectiveness of STs applied directly to the seed and not on the entire field.
- Economic impacts — Seed Treatment insecticides are estimated to grow 10.9% annually by 2018
- Seed coating polymer — Nutrien Ag Solutions offers an advanced polymer that reduces dust-off and minimizes viscosity while keeping the seed treatment on the seed.
Nutrien Ag Solutions does carry a current supply of seed treatments for retail sales. However, Nutrien Ag Solutions believes that producers will be dollars ahead by allowing the trained professionals at the Nutrien Ag Solutions conditioning plants to apply the seed treatments. Nutrien Ag Solutions has the calibrated treaters installed into its conditioning process. Thus, producers do not have to worry about the accuracy of their rates as they would if they apply at the farm.
