Seed Treatment
For Brassica
All forage brassica crops benefit from the application of seed treatment, protecting the seed and emerging seedlings during the establishment phase against economically damaging insect pests and seedling diseases.
Brassica seed treatment plays a big part in ensuring germinating seedlings survive and develop through the first six weeks after planting, to the point where external influences are less likely to adversely affect plant growth and final crop yield.
Brassica seed treatment is a very cost effective risk management tool, representing a very small proportion of the total growing cost of a forage crop. Today the vast majority of brassica seed sown on-farm has a seed treatment applied to it.
