Seed treatment and in-furrow applications are both designed to protect seedlings and boost plant health, but they differ in how they're applied, how they perform, and when you might choose one over the other.
🫘 WHAT IS SEED TREATMENT?
Seed treatment involves applying biologicals, fungicides, insecticides, polymers, and other additives directly to the seed before it is planted. This is typically done using a commercial seed treater, either on-farm or at a professional treatment facility.
🚜 WHAT IS IN-FURROW APPLICATION?
In-furrow treatment involves placing crop protection products or nutrients directly into the seed trench at planting time. This is done using liquid systems mounted on the planter.
