Siegers Seed Company is pleased to offer the FarMore™
Technology Pak on many of its commercial seed varieties. This
novel approach to vegetable crop protection defends the crop at
the most critical time of its development.
“FarMore™ Technology Pak is a
great concept. It assures the seed is uniformly treated with the
optimal amount of seed protectant materials available today,”
explains Roy Pearman, Director of Sales and Marketing at Siegers
Seed Company. “Plus, new seed treatments are being registered
for control of additional pests which will soon be
available in the FarMore™ Technology Pak. It’s one less thing a
grower has to worry about allowing them to focus on more
important business matters.”
By targeting early season
seed-borne and soil-borne fungi that cause decay, damping-off
and seedling blight the FarMore™ Technology Pack offers many
advantages including:
- Accuracy and Convenience –
Accurately applied on the seed and delivered in the seed
package
- Enhanced disease
protection – Gives crops a health start to maximize yield,
protect quality and increase early season vigor
- Broad-spectrum protection
– Protects against a variety of diseases in variable
environmental conditions
- Enhanced seedling
germination, emergence and health
- Improved stand
establishment
- Excellent worker
protection and environmental profile
How does it work?
FarMore™ Technology Pak works by
accurately applying selected compounds in appropriate ratios
directly onto the vegetable seed. The delivery is customized to
each crop seed and combines low use-rate compounds which have
been registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
under its “Reduced Risk” pesticide program. Plus, it
works with current seed technology processes such as
disinfection, encrusting, pelleting, priming and film coating.
FarMore™ Technology Pak is for
direct seeding only and not for plants intended for
transplanting. It provides superior protection in the following
small-seeded vegetable crop groups:
- Fruiting vegetables
(tomatoes, peppers)
- Leafy vegetables
(lettuce, spinach)
- Bulb or root
vegetables (carrot, onion)
- Cucurbit vegetables
(cucumber, melons, squash, watermelon)
- Brassica vegetables
(broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower)
Field and Trial Results
Siegers Seed Company is also
pleased to report that the FarMore™ Technology Pak has
demonstrated a high degree of safety on a variety of vegetable
seeds, both in traditional planting and under highly stressful
conditions. It has demonstrated excellent effectiveness against
key pathogens implicated in seed-borne and soil-borne diseases
as well as improved stand establishment, early season vigor and
yield protection under inoculated
and un-inoculated conditions.
