Why consider FarMore™ D300?

Prior to FarMore™ D 300 , there has been a lack of focus or investment in vegetables from seed treatment manufacturers due to:

  • Small amount of acres relative to other crops.

  • No proven business models to capture value.

  • Liability associated with high value seed/crop.

  • Complexity of channel, seed enhancement options and practices within a crop.

Growers, seed companies, seed technology providers and dealers are now receptive to new products and approaches with new seed treatment products.

Areas of concern with Thiram

Skin and eye irritant.

Breathing Thiram can irritate the nose and throat.

Alcohol interactions.

Irritant of respiratory mucous membrane.

Repeated exposure may affect kidneys, liver and thyroid.

Thiram, the most widely used seed treatment in vegetables is carefully watched and has several drawbacks:

  • Request for removal of all residential uses of Thiram.

  • Cancellation of uses in apples and strawberries.

  • Cancellation of on-farm seed treatment uses in peanuts.

  • Cancellation of all turf application for turf grown for sale.

  • Cancellation of the aerial and hand/spoon application of granular application.

  • New risk mitigation is required as described by RED.

  • Updated worker protection standards.

Thiram: Re-registration Update (EPA February 2005)

  • Products containing Thiram are eligible for re-registration depending on specific uses.

  • The future of seed treatment uses will depend on the ecological risk assessment on the effects Thiram has on birds’ reproductive systems.
