It combine FBSciences’ proven Transit technology with crop-specific mixes of nutrients designed to support early crop health.
FBSciences has recently announced the launch of the new SuperSede line of seed treatment products beginning with SuperSede Soybean and SuperSede Cotton, and following with SuperSede Small Grains and SuperSede Corn in the coming months. These products combine FBSciences’ proven Transit technology with crop-specific mixes of nutrients designed to support early crop health. FBSciences will provide these seed treatment products for downstream seed application opportunities at the dealer and grower level.
All of FBSciences’ seed treatment products result in increased vigor and improved emergence in seedlings, allowing growers to establish a stronger start to the season. Seed-applied products assist in overcoming abiotic stresses – including the cold, wet conditions that seeds are subject to at planting and during germination. FBSciences’ SuperSede products assist in even germination in the field, resulting in a higher stand count with increased uniformity of stand.
FBSciences’ SuperSede products have a notably low use rate and can be used in combination with insecticides and fungicides on the seed, working as an enhancing complement to a grower’s existing seed treatment program.
The first product in the line, SuperSede Soybean, designed for use with soybeans as well as other legumes, addresses the particular concern in early legume growth.
Another product launching is SuperSede Cotton. Trials on cotton, a notoriously difficult crop in early season growth, have shown that FBSciences’ seed-applied products and technologies resulted in a 9 per cent average increase in plant population and a 12 per cent average increase in cotton yield.
