Protect your investment and help your plants thrive from the start? Seed treatments are a small upfront cost that can produce a healthy ROI.
“Seed treatments are a great insurance policy for growers,” said Cody Lezer, Federated’s Ogilvie location manager. “They’re a relatively cheap way to protect that expensive seed from issues that can arise throughout the growing season.”
Some soybean treatments to consider:
Additionally, an inoculant applied to your seeds helps ensure effective nitrogen-fixing nodulation, which maximizes yields and improves plant health.
“A good seed treatment can help plants from day one,” Lezer said. “They can improve stand counts, promote better root growth to help plants find nutrients, and protect the seed from diseases. For the cost of one or two bushels, it’s a great ROI!”
