Seed dressing is the foundation of strength! Seed treatment for strong crops

Dressing with auxin-based stimulators is the basis for a strong and balanced stand with the potential to increase the quality of production and yield itself. It is a highly effective intensification input that influences plant development from the initial stages – development of the first roots, emergence, and rooting.

Benefits of the application of M-SUNAGREEN onto the surface of the seeds

  • Significantly better rooting and increased performance of the root system
  • Even and accelerated emergence
  • Strong stands with an impact on production quality
  • Higher stress tolerance (including a higher tolerance to agrotechnical transgressions – pre-sowing tillage, sowing, fertilisation…)

Crop specifics

Winter wheat (winter barley)
Winter rapeseed
Strong productive tillers with higher yield potential; better stand condition before winter (strengthening of late-sown stands).
More even emergence, elimination of the influence of unsuitable moisture conditions; influence on branching = higher number of siliquas.

Winter cereals

Strong stands in the winter = intensive growth in the spring

The strengthening of even late-sown crops can increase the quality of overwintering and the yield level.
