Pre-sowing seed treatment of spring cereals with special fertilizers.
In modern farming conditions spring cereal crops, although less widespread, still belong to the leading agricultural crops with important food, feed and export value. Obtaining a high yield of good quality from spring cereals is not an easy task for agronomists, especially in the 2023 season. High prices for fertilizers and crop protection products in spring will be a serious limiting factor, so using all possible means of increasing yield is more relevant than ever.
Pre-sowing seed treatment with special fertilizers simultaneously with crop protection products is a responsible procedure that affects plant growth and development. It is among the most effective ways of using them. For spring cereals this is very important because in the first stages of growth and development it is important to maintain a fast growth rate in order to use the available moisture as efficiently as possible and to reduce the negative effect of weeds by strengthening the competitive ability of the cultivated plants.
The most effective composition for pre-sowing seed treatment is GROS Rootgrowth at a dose of 1.0 l/t + ECOLINE Phosphite (K) 0.5 l/t of seed.
A well-chosen composition and forms of active ingredients enhance the growth energy of the seedling and the young plant (amino acids and phosphorus in phosphite form), and the ratio of auxins and cytokinins intensifies cell division in meristematic tissues. Treating seed before sowing with the fertilizer GROS Rootgrowth + ECOLINE Phosphite (K) ensures:
- fast growth of the root system and, as a result, faster and stronger formation of above-ground mass;
- stronger carbon assimilation during photosynthesis;
- increased resistance to disease pathogens;
- a higher dry matter content, in particular sugars, which positively affects yield formation.
