Seed Treatment
Simple, yet effective.
Liquid and dry product formulations provide essential nutrients which activate crucial enzymes that optimize metabolic pathways necessary for proper seedling growth and enhanced vigor.
Nutriplant SD/SL
Nutriplant® SD/SL is a nutritional supplement to enhance seedling emergence and growth. It is applied to seed just prior to planting.
The product is available in two forms:
Dry powder Nutriplant® SD for application in the field at planting.
Liquid Nutriplant® SL for commercial and in-furrow application.
NUTRIPLANT® SEED TREATMENT contains magnesium, sulfur, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc. (NUTRIPLANT® SD also contains calcium.) Calcium is needed for root and leaf development and improved plant vigor. Magnesium regulates uptake of other nutrients and activates a number of crucial enzymes. Sulfur, zinc, and copper are essential for formation of proteins and activation of enzymes necessary for seedling growth. Iron and manganese are crucial in sugar metabolism to produce energy for seedling emergence. Magnesium and molybdenum aid in the transport of phosphorus, which is important in energy transfer. Cobalt influences plant resistance to stress. The synergism of all of these elements makes NUTRIPLANT® SEED TREATMENT effective.
