Becker Underwood, Inc.,
a global leader in inoculants and seed enhancement technology
including the manufacturing of seed colorant and coating
products, announces a major development in plantability
technology with the expansion of the Flo Rite® polymer
technology for soybeans.
Flo Rite® 1127 Concentrate for soybeans is the newest product of
the Flo Rite technology platform, replacing Flo Rite® 1127. Flo
Rite® 1127 Concentrate contains the benefits of Flo Rite® 1127
plantability polymer in a more concentrated formula. Flo Rite®
1127 Concentrate was developed to enhance the plantability of
soybeans that have been treated with various seed treatments.
When added to commercial seed treatments, Flo Rite® 1127
Concentrate, improves plantability, seed flow in seed treatment
equipment, seed coverage, appearance, and reduces dust off of
actives during and after the seed treatment process. Flo Rite®
1127 Concentrate has unique properties that allow it to be added
with active seed treatment components, inoculants, and Color
Coat™ colorants directly in the mix tank and applied
simultaneously. Talc or additional polymers are not required
during application, but Becker Underwood always advocates
following planter equipment manufacturer guidelines. In
addition, Flo Rite® 1127 Concentrate is an inoculant (rhizobia)
friendly formulation, so inoculants like Vault® LVL or VAULT® NP
may be added to the slurry.
Becker Underwood is excited to introduce this new product to the
market this season.
Becker Underwood, Inc. founded in 1982, is a leading
developer of bio-agronomic and specialty products. In addition
to being the leading manufacturer of seed coatings and
