Pre-Sowing Treatment of Spring Cereal Seed with ECOORGANIC Fertilizers

Pre-sowing treatment of spring cereal seed with fertilizers from ECOORGANIC LLC.

Pre-sowing seed treatment with special compositions is an effective measure that raises field emergence and ensures active plant growth and development in the early stages of organogenesis. Thanks to such treatment, plant growth and development improve, especially in the period from germination to switching to feeding from the plant's own root system, and plant resistance to unfavorable weather and disease agents increases.

For seed treatment, not only microelements or complex compositions with several nutrients in different forms are used, but also special fertilizers containing biologically active substances, in particular phosphites, amino acids and phytohormones. Using them in crop production gives results that cannot be achieved in other ways.

Phosphorus in the form of phosphite - when applied to the seed surface, strengthens root system growth and raises plant resistance to unfavorable factors .

Amino acids play a protective role. The supply of free amino acids to the plant from outside improves plant condition and saves the plant energy.

Phytohormones exert a regulatory influence on ontogenetic processes.

ECOORGANIC recommends using the following products or their combinations for pre-sowing treatment of cereal seed:

ECOLINE Cereal (Chelates), ECOLINE Phosphite (K), GROS Rootgrowth.

Combinations of ECOORGANIC fertilizers for pre-sowing seed treatment have been tested many times both on trial plots and on commercial crops. In all cases high effectiveness was obtained: higher field emergence, better developed and more powerful root system, stronger development of the aboveground part of plants, and so on.

The results of using GROS Rootgrowth are shown in the photo and the table.

Below are the basic combinations recommended by ECOORGANIC LLC for pre-sowing treatment of cereal seed.

1. ECOLINE Cereal (Chelates) – 1.0 l/t;
2. ECOLINE Cereal (Chelates) – 1.0 l/t + ECOLINE Phosphite (K) – 0.5 l/t;
3. GROS Rootgrowth 1.0–1.5 l/t .

Considering soil and climate conditions, the varieties or hybrids used and the expected yield level, each farm can choose the option that will be most effective for it.

The fertilizer composition and recommended rates are given below .
