Effective immediately,
INCOTEC, Integrated Coating and
Seed Technology, Inc., in Salinas, California is offering
INCOTEC 400 OnX Organic Lettuce to the professional organic
lettuce market. This new pellet compliments the following
organic products released earlier in 2004: Splitkote Organic
Lettuce, Splitkote Special Organic Lettuce, Splitkote Organic
Carrot, OnX Organic Lettuce and OnX Special Organic Lettuce.
INCOTEC 400
OnX Organic Lettuce is a light weight encrustment, very similar
in appearance and color to INCOTEC’s widely accepted
conventional OnX product.
This new
product conforms to the NOP rules and has been approved by the
California Crop Improvement Association.
All Organic
products are available for Organic growers who use conventional
or precision planters and need coatings that have excellent
quality, uniformity, and plantability.
INCOTEC 400
OnX Organic Lettuce was trialed in the extreme July heat in
Yuma, Arizona. This new Organic product performed exceptionally
well compared to other organic products. The pellet may also be
combined with INCOTEC’s Organic priming and in this form will be
called INCOTEC 400 OnX Special Organic.
This
lightweight Organic coating will soon be available on carrot as
INCOTEC 400 Organic with a pellet size of 11.5 and on lettuce as
INCOTEC 400 Organic with pellet sizes of 112x218 and 13.0. Look
for these products to be released in the near future.
