Wheat School: Three steps to a strong start for wheat
"The first thing that you need to do...is to make sure that you have good, clean seed...a fungal scan is going to tell you so much about your seed and set you up properly for the year."
"Seed treatments are an insurance policy, helping protect yield potential by defending against early-season disease pressure. Key considerations include a strong disease package and a combination of contact and systemic activity."
"Coverage is the most important thing when it comes to...using a seed treatment. If you're not getting coverage...then you're not getting the investment that you are paying for."
Preparing wheat seed for seeding involves three key steps. First, assess seed quality through a fungal scan to understand germination and disease presence. Second, select an appropriate seed treatment to protect against early-season diseases. Third, ensure proper application of the treatment, focusing on factors like viscosity and coverage. By following these steps, growers can enhance the potential of their wheat crop for the growing season.
