Applied directly to the seed, this product strengthens the whole plant, above and below the ground, before pests in the soil can attack.

Organic 1r - Seed Treatment

Conventional and Organic Use
Organic 1r- Seed Treatment is an organic, Humic Acid product derived from naturally-occurring, highest-quality mined Leonardite. It is formulated to improve nutrient uptake, provide better root development, and reduce plant stress. Continual testing has shown improved germination and emergence of crops with increased stand counts. Organic 1r- Seed Treatment desiccates germination inhibiting spores (fungal pathogens) on the pericarp of the seed, penetrates the seed coat and triggers hormones and growth systems in the embryo during the critical early stages of germination. This leads to healthier root development and stronger seedling stands. It has been reported to perform well in cold conditions. This product can be used on conventional or organic seed.
