West Central Distribution Launches Ridgeline Seed Care Portfolio
October 24, 2017 From the moment seeds are planted, crops encounter numerous pest pressures that can impact seedling health and may affect the plants’ overall yield come harvest time. Seed treatments play an important role in ensuring the seed has the best start possible from the moment it’s planted, by protecting it from harmful disease and insect pressures that can negatively impact the plant throughout its life. West Central Distribution has announced the launch of its new Ridgeline Seed Care portfolio, a ready-to-use seed treatment lineup containing some of the newest chemistries in the seed treatment market. The new Ridgeline portfolio includes Halifax Fungicide, Halifax Fungicide and Insecticide, Lancaster Fungicide, and Lancaster Fungicide and Insecticide.
Continued advancements in seed treatment have allowed ag retailers a variety of options to help growers protect their crops from the hundreds of fungi and insects that may negatively impact their overall crop yield. Seed treatments, as part of a strong crop management plan, can help growers achieve the higher yields they strive to produce each growing season.
The Ridgeline Seed Care portfolio was developed to provide a consistent formulation and a brand ag retailers know and trust. Ridgeline includes seed treatment products to provide protection for a variety of crops, including soybeans and other legumes, plus cereal crops such as wheat.
