Myco Seed Treat
Myco is a complete microbial seed treatment package that includes a high concentration of dormant beneficial microorganisms and an initial food source. Included are free-living and symbiotic bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, algae and mycorrhizal fungi. Once the seed is planted, the microbes start to grow and multiply.
The crop benefits by the beneficial microorganisms freeing up nutrients and extending the reach of the crop root. In addition, they compete against detrimental microbes. The microbes benefit from living off root exudates(organic compounds and sugars). The end result is better soil cycling, more uniform stands and increased plant growth and higher seedling survival.
Surestand Seed Treatment
SureStand seed coating is a combination of Myco Seed Treat and a premier mineral coating. Over many years of exhaustive testing at university and industry trials, it has shown a consistent ability to convert more legume seeds to viable seedlings, enhancing the value of the seed sold to the farmer.
SureStand coating enhances germination, seedling survival, and growth by absorbing water from the soil and providing beneficial nitrogen fixing bacteria. Use the same planting rates as uncoated seed.
Available in OC (organic approved coating) and CT (conventional coated)
