Using seed treatments has become increasingly popular in commercial agriculture as higher germination gives more number of plants. It protects germinating seeds and seedlings against soil and seed borne pathogens/insects while germinating. It enhances nodulation. Using seed treatments has become increasingly popular in commercial agriculture. It is better than soil and foliar application as whole plant absorb Pesticide/Insecticide.
We prefer to use bio pesticides. To be aware about different seed treatments is the first step to making the best decision for your crops from the very beginning.Having “stronger” seeds means that more seeds produce a plant, so money is no longer spent on seeds that don’t deliver and efficiency is 100%.Treatment could be effective, but still cost more than the profits gained if proper guidance not received. Perhaps worst of all, the treatment could be improperly applied, leaving you with a seed that is more deficient than the original or you lost seeds. The treatment could be ineffective or targeted to the wrong problem, thereby costing money and time.
Use of naturally made seed treatment is very effective in organic farming.
Insecticides and Fungicides: These types of treatments help to protect seeds and seedlings from disease and to fight pests that strike early in the season when seedlings are most vulnerable to pests.
Microbial inoculants: These products help to improve the nitrogen fixation in legumes or otherwise stimulate plant growth or promote soil biodiversity.
Plant Growth Regulators: This approach assists with the stand establishment of the seedling. It improves the plant’s ability to tolerate stress at the early critical stages.
Fertilizers: These types of treatment are used to enhance fertilizer performance or supply micronutrients to the soil, which helps plant growth. Southern States provides a number of fertilizer treatment options for various crops based on the needs of the emerging plant.Each of the given treatment type can be replaced effectively with our organic methods.
