New Seed Treatment Targets Potential
December 4, 2007 A new seed treatment is ready to provide early nutritional benefits in 2008.
PROTINUS from Wolf Trax ensures the seed gets the early nutrition it needs to reach its full genetic potential, according to a company press release.
When applied to seed, PROTINUS acts in two ways to promote early plant health. The seed nutrition product lowers the pH in the soil adjacent to the seed, enabling the plant to take up nutrients more easily. In addition, the product delivers four key essential micro elements for early plant health, directly into the seed uptake zone.
"The bottom line is that PROTINUS provides insurance against conditions that are not optimal," says Brenda Dubeck, Wolf Trax’ manager, seed products. "Seed providers will be interested in this product because it will get their seed off to a great start, and increase the opportunity to reach maximum yield potential."
PROTINUS has been tested on major field crops including corn, soybeans, rice, wheat and cotton. According to Dubeck, it will be available in limited supply in 2008.
