Seed Treating
Anderson Wheat Farms offers seed treatment capabilities. Seed treatment can be considered an "insurance policy" to protect your seed investment by preventing and reducing the risks from a number of soil borne and seed borne pathogens and insects. Treating seed creates better stand establishment and early season growth and vigor.
Variables involved with seed treatment decisions:
-
Seed Cost
-
Seet Treating Cost
-
Crop Value
-
Field / Crop History
-
Seed Quality
-
Soil Condition
-
Tillage Practices
-

Tolerance to Risk
We recommend treating all seed with CruiserMaxx® Vibrance® Cereal, a seed treatment product for protection against damage from certain insects and disease of cereals.
Active ingredients: Sedaxane, Difenoconazole, Mefenoxam, Thiamethoxam.
