Seed Up 22: Boosting Legume Field Emergence

Achieving uniform emergence is the main challenge of any sowing season. Seed Up 22, a French solution by Olmix S.A., has proven to be a reliable tool for managing germination energy. Designed specifically for legumes, this mineral fertilizer acts as a nutritional catalyst from the moment the seed hits the soil.

Key Composition and Benefits

The formulation contains a precise balance of Nitrogen, Sulfur, Potassium, Boron, Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, and Copper. This synergy of micro and macro elements is engineered to help the embryo thrive without wasting internal energy reserves during the critical early growth phase. It strengthens the primary root system and helps the plant establish a strong foothold.

Operational Insights

For an farm operator, the ease of handling is just as important as the agronomic result:

• Application Method: The product is applied via seed treatment. Its liquid form makes it highly compatible with modern seed treatment equipment, ensuring no clogging of nozzles or machinery downtime.
• Dosage: Depending on soil conditions and seed quality, the application rate is set between 3 to 10 kg/ha. When preparing the treatment solution, a volume of 1000–2000 kg/ha is used to ensure full coverage of the seed batch.
• Efficiency: With a single application required, it significantly streamlines the planting process.
• Handling and Safety: Classified as hazard class 4, it is safe to use and store, requiring minimal extra protective measures for the crew.

It eliminates the problem of gaps in the field, ensuring that the entire area reaches its production potential right from the start.
