What is Seed Treatment?

The application of biological and chemical crop protection products to seeds prior to sowing to provide protection from pests and diseases and to improve establishment of healthy crops.

Benefits of Using Seed Treatment Products

Benefits to the Growers 

  • Protects high value seeds
  • Allows for early season planting
  • Aids uniform seedling emergence and crop stand establishment
  • Increases plant vigor and yield potential
  • Reduces need for additional treatment or replanting of crop

Environmental Responsibility
