Manganese Seed Treatment is a unique, flowable manganese product in very highly concentrated form. The seed dresser is able to distribute the material evenly throughout the batch and apply it in conjunction with other seed treatments. Treated seed runs easily through the drill and there is no adverse effect upon germination. Manganese Seed Treatment is also suitable for all legumes, especially peas, where Manganese deficiency not only reduces yield but also causes 'marsh spot' which affects quality and therefore rejection by the processor.
Manganese Seed Treatment applied to the seed
will ensure a good supply of this essential nutrient right from
the start. As a result root development is improved.
Manganese Seed Treatment will help crop
establishment especially in a poor seed bed. Plant uptake
and translocation to new growth is excellent. The risk of
frost damage is reduced and the well-nourished crop is
better able to resist disease. Manganese seed treatment
in combination with a fungicide has shown, in trials, to
increase yield more than the fungicide seed treatment on
its own.
Manganese Seed Treatment usually costs about
the same per acre as a foliar spray but it is the only certain
manganese source in the critical early stages. Its value on
crops sown in the autumn and in the spring will be immense.
