Reported Benefits Increase the uptake and availability of nutrients, boost plants under stress. |
| Product Description |
Dry biological enzyme seed treatment, talc-like powder. |
Liquid biological soil conditioner. |
Liquid biological fermentation product. |
Nutrient suspension liquid plant food. |
| Effect |
Enhances seed germination. Provides a nutrient source that is readily utilized by the seedlings until they can start feeding from the soil. |
Helps convert nutrients to a form that can be used by the plant through soil bacterial activity. Biological activity and life makes the soil more porous, |
Accelerates decomposition of cellulose and lignin materials. Internal stalk decay is accelerated leaving a hollow outer shell. |
Plant food is formulated to be readily available to the plant through foliar application, enhancing availability and plant uptake of nutrient. |
| Benefits |
Increased yield of higher quality grain and hay.
Faster, more uniform emergence.
Faster, deeper and more extensive root development.
Average Midwest yield increases:
Corn: 5-10 BPA Soybeans: 3-6 BPA Wheat: 6-12 BPA Oats: 6-12 BPA
Higher test weight
2 lbs. better test weight observed in Midwest),
Faster maturity and Dry-Down - 3-5 pts. lower moisture content
Less lodging. |
Increases yield of higher quality grain and hay along with reduced production cost.
More porous soil allows water to penetrate, eliminating most runoff and standing water.
Plant roots penetrate deeper, pull moisture and nutrient from greater depths.
Users report reduced Chemical Rates of 33-50%.
Less chemical carryover
Fuel &Time Savings - many users report soil is easier to work, especially after the 2nd year of use.
Users report applying less than 1/2 the nitrogen as before.
Improves soil tests with less fertilizer
Increased calcium levels
More earthworms and nightcrawlers in soil. |
Ideal for conservation and reduced tillage programs. Leaves residue to aid in erosion control, yet residue is manageable and crumbles easily.
Decay returns nutrients to the soil in forms next year's crop can use.
Less problems with weeds, insects and volunteer corn.
Non-Toxic so can pasture after use.
Hollow stalks serve as soil cover.
Stalks crumble when come in contact with planting or tillage equipment. |
Improved plant growth and nutrition
Promote flower development, fruit set and yield potential.
Can lead to increased tolerance to stress, boosts crops under nutrient stress. |
| Application |
4-5 Oz/ bushel seed
Alfalfa - 4-8 oz/bag.
Ordering Guide
Generally, a 15# bucket of Seed Treat will treat 60 bushels of most seeds. A light coating on the seed is all that is needed. |

Main Benefits seen Years 2+ |
As soon as possible after harvest.
Works best when applied during warm weather. |
Beans - At 2nd-3rd trifoliate leaf stage.
Alfalfa - Time of new seeding, or for established crops, 10 Oz/Acre at 1st burst of spring growth & then again within 10-14 days after ea. cutting.
Spring Wheat - 8 Oz/Acre, 2nd-3rd leaf state. Later apply 4 oz/acre at Feeke's state 8 (flag leaf stage)
Winter Wheat - In the fall, apply 8 Oz/Acre at the 2nd-3rd leaf state. In the spring, apply 4 oz/acre at beginning of new growth or tillering.
Corn - At 4th true leaf stage band. Very time sensitive. |
