Seed dressing represents one of the smallest financial inputs that you can make, but can provide you with very large returns on investment. Efficient application is essential to ensure that every seed is covered with the optimum amount of chemical, so that the advantages of the seed treatment are maximized.

Plant disease organisms survive from season to season through spores carried on or in seeds. Some chemical seed dressing provide a protective zone around the seed through which soil-borne organisms cannot penetrate.

The young seedling is also protected from attack until it is capable of outgrowing attacks from soil-borne pathogens. Some plant disease organisms are carried inside the seed. As the seed germinates, the fungus grows along with the developing seedling, eventually causing disease symptoms in the mature plant.

Many of the diseases that cause problems on crops during the growing season have a seed-borne phase. The seed-borne pathogens are responsible for seed rots and seedling blights. Seed-borne pathogens are a constant threat to the establishment and development of the growing crop.

Another importance of the seed-borne phase for these pathogens is that seed-borne infections may introduce the pathogen, or races of the pathogen, into areas where they did not previously exist.

Our seed dressing product has a wider application than just the control of these seed-borne diseases. This product also protects seedlings from infection by soil-borne pathogens. Our seed dressing product has systemic activity and will also control foliar diseases.
