The findings from a new study conducted at Nottingham University have shown that treating bean and pea seeds with the biostimulant seed treatment, Newton, could improve germination by up to two days.

With the calendar date suggesting spring is just around the corner, and sprayers poised to act as soon as field conditions allow, pulse growers are urged to consider partnering pre-em sprays with a residual herbicide adjuvant to get crops off to a strong weed-free start.

Improving the resilience and readiness of crops for the challenges of the spring growing season is becoming increasingly crucial for profitable harvests, with weather extremes, rising input costs, and loss of authorised plant protection products putting increasing pressure on growers and their crops.

Newton biostimulant seed treatment is comprised of unique stimulating peptides that stimulate plants to thrive. It’s the natural, eco-friendly alternative to chemical seed treatment and your root to higher yields.

Kantor is the only does-everything adjuvant that gives you the flexibility to maximise crop protection performance, when often the weather, time constraints and challenging targets, are working against you.

The inclusion of a residual herbicide adjuvant with the pre-em spray is fast becoming a vital weapon on the black-grass battlefield as farmers and spray operators look to get the upper hand against the pernicious weed.

Plant health is everything and it all starts with the seed. Applying Newton Biostimulant seed treatment to your cereal seed will help you achieve the best possible start.

The move to more regenerative farming practices is a growing trend and one that can benefit soils, finances and the whole ecosystem. By boosting seeds, rather than treating plants, applying a biostimulant seed treatment to your cereal seed offers a more sustainable start than chemical alternatives.

Fungicides have got better over time, but keeping spray intervals tight and product application on-target remains a challenge. Teaming blight fungicide sprays with the drift retardant Crusade, will help keep you spraying in challenging conditions, and maximise fungicide efficacy.

Left unchecked, weeds can soon outcompete a crop during its early growth stages so it’s important to take care of any yield robbing weeds as we head in to spring. Here’s our advice on how adjuvants could make the difference to weed control this spring.

Cereal crops are looking full of promise following the kind winter, with growth stages in wheat and barley now at mid-tillering in many regions. Now is the time to consider whether crops could benefit from a biostimulant to keep them powered up heading in to spring.
