Onion Seed Treatments at a glance

Hans’ presentation led to a lively debate on the benefits of seed treatment. The German public showed a special interest in the benefits of priming onion seeds to mitigate the negative effects of unusual cold or wet weather in Spring. In addition to this, Growers were also keen to discuss ways in which seed treatments can significantly reduce the overall need for crop protection products.
