Why Treat Your Seed?

The answer to this question would vary a bit depending on whom you asked.

· A farmer would be interested in improved yield potential, protecting their investment and maximizing profit.
· A seed specialist would be interested in controlling disease and assisting producers to attain the best possible yield and quality.
· A purchaser of seed for food, feed or seed purposes would say to produce a crop of the highest quality.
· And last but not least a chemical company would say to protect your seed from seed and soil borne diseases and insects. A good example of this would be using a seed treatment to kill fusarium on the seed and prevent the introduction of the disease to clean fields.

In summary it could be said that treating your seed offers an opportunity to maximize the crops genetic potential.
