CHANDLER
DRY SEED TREAT

An enzyme seed treatment applied directly to the seed at planting. Dry Seed Treat enhances germination, root development, and nutrient uptake to promote higher crop yields.

What is Dry Seed Treat?

Dry Seed Treat is a powdered seed treatment that contains micronutrients and naturally occurring enzymes, proteins, and amino acids. Chandler also offers the seed treatment in liquid form.

What does it do?

The organic compounds in Dry Seed Treat enhance the germination process and provide an early source of nutrients for the plant. The result is faster emergence, higher germination rates, and more vigorous seedlings. As the plant grows, Dry Seed Treat continues to work for you by enhancing root development (including nodulation in legumes), nutrient uptake, and plant growth. At harvest, Dry Seed Treat promotes faster maturity and dry-down, higher yields and test weight, and less lodging.

How do you apply Dry Seed Treat?

For convenient field application, Dry Seed Treat can be dusted on and thoroughly mixed with the seed in the planter box or seed hopper. Dry Seed Treat is non-toxic and can be applied without special equipment or handling.

What is the recommended application rate?

For most field crops, you should apply 4 ounces of Dry Seed Treat per bushel or bag of seed. The recommended rate for alfalfa seed is 4-8 ounces per bag.

Is Dry Seed Treat cost effective?

Yes, depending on crop prices, it typically takes less than a one bushel increase in crop yields to recover the cost of Dry Seed Treat.

What sort of performance can I expect on specific crops?

• Corn --- for about $0.60 per acre, Midwest farmers have observed an average yield increase of 5-10 bushels per acre, 2000 more plants per acre, less lodging, two pounds better test weight, and 3-5 points lower moisture content at harvest.
• Soybeans --- for about $1.80 per acre (depending on seeding rate), Midwest farmers have observed an average yield increase of 3-6 bushels per acre, more nodulation, less shattering, and faster dry-down.
• Wheat and small grains --- for about $2 to $3 per acre (depending on seeding rate), Midwest farmers have observed an average yield increase of 6-12 bushels per acre, less winter kill and lodging, and higher test weights.
• Alfalfa --- for about $0.60 to $1.20 per acre, Midwest farmers have harvested hay with higher quality and quantity, increased nodulation, and less winter kill while reducing seeding rates 3-6 pounds per acre.
