How to Do It Series - Episode 13 - Seed Treatment
Hi Everyone,
This episode of our “How to Do It” video series will focus on an inexpensive strategy that can provide the biggest “bang for your buck” of any practice on the farm. I’m talking about seed treatment. The simple inclusion of minerals and microbes in your seed can provide a remarkable kickstart for your crop, which almost inevitably translates to a yield increase at season's end.
Some microbial seed coatings, like mycorrhizal fungi and azotobacter, will partner with the plant for the entire growing season, delivering a suite of protective and productive benefits. Others, including important germination-enhancing trace minerals like manganese, will ensure that you optimise the performance of increasingly expensive seed costs.
When you treat cover crop seed with AMF, for example, you are building a functional matrix of mycorrhizal hyphae in the soil, into which you will plant your next cash crop.
Recent research into Azotobacter has shown that these super productive, nitrogen-fixing organisms will persist and perform for the full crop cycle.
A nutritional seed coating is like a mother’s milk to seedlings. Once you have tried it and recognised the benefits, you will never plant naked again.
Wishing you all a successful, stress-free spring.
Warm regards,
Graeme Sait
