Seed Treatments

Seed treatment technology allows a targeted coating of insecticide, fungicide and in some cases nutrients to be applied to seeds before sowing. They help protect and accelerate seedling development, so reducing the risk of losing new pasture or crop at establishment. Barenbrug markets three AGRICOTE seed treatments for grass, clover, and brassicas.
