Seed Treatment

Protection Starts Before the Crop Emerges.

The foundation of a healthy crop beginswith the seed.

Seed treatment provides an early line ofdefence by applying crop protection solutions directly to the seed beforesowing. Depending on the product and its approved use, seed treatment can helpprotect seeds and emerging seedlings from seed-borne and soil-borne diseases,certain early-season insect pests, and other threats during establishment.

GSP Crop Science's seed treatment solutionsare designed to support stronger crop establishment from the very beginning.

Why Seed Treatment Matters

A Small Seed Faces Big Challenges.

The period between sowing and cropestablishment is one of the most critical stages of the crop cycle. Seeds andyoung seedlings may encounter pathogens and insect pressure before or shortlyafter emergence.

Because seed treatment places the cropprotection solution directly on the seed, it enables targeted protection at theearliest stage of crop development.

Early Protection. Stronger Establishment.

Seed Protection

Helps protect treated seeds againstspecified seed-borne and soil-borne threats according to the product's approveduse.

Early-Stage Protection

Certain seed treatment insecticides canhelp protect emerging seedlings against specified early-season insect pests.

Crop Establishment

Protecting the seed and young seed lingduring vulnerable early stages can support healthier crop establishment.

Targeted Application

Because the treatment is applied directlyto seed, the active ingredient can be positioned where early protection isrequired.

How Seed Treatment Works

Protection Applied at the Starting Point.

Rather than waiting until a threat appearsafter crop emergence, seed treatment is applied before sowing. Depending on theactive ingredient and formulation, the treatment may act on or around thetreated seed and emerging seedling to provide protection against specifiedearly-stage threats.

Treat

Crop protection formulation is applieduniformly to the seed.

Sow

The treated seed is planted according torecommended agricultural practices.

Germinate

Protection begins during the criticalgermination and emergence stages, according to the product's mode of action.

Establish

The emerging crop gets a more protectedstart against the threats covered by the approved product recommendation.

The First Stage of Crop Protection

From Seed Protection to Crop Protection.

Seed treatment should be positioned as thefirst stage of a broader crop-protection approach. It helps protect the cropduring its earliest development before subsequent pest, disease andweed-management decisions are made according to field conditions.

Precision Begins withApplication

The RightProduct. The Right Seed. The Right Treatment.

Seed treatment performance depends onproduct selection, treatment rate, uniform seed coverage, crop, seed qualityand correct application.

Products should be used only for theirapproved crops and purposes and strictly according to the approved label,recommended treatment rate, application method and safety instructions. Treatedseed should also be handled, stored and used according to applicable labeldirections and regulatory requirements.
