Seed Product Promotes Healthy Start
November 27, 2007 A new seed treatment will be available for the 2008 season, and it promises early plant health benefits even in less than optimal conditions.
PROTINUS from Wolf Trax will provide early nutritional benefits for field crops. Key benefits of early nutrition and plant health — such as early emergence and greater root mass — contribute to optimal plant performance throughout the season. PROTINUS ensures the seed gets the early nutrition it needs to reach its full genetic potential.
When applied to seed, PROTINUS acts in two ways to promote early plant health. The seed nutrition product alters and 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, manager seed products for Wolf Trax. "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, PROTINUS will be in limited supply in 2008.
