INCOTEC Integrated Coating and Seed Technology, Inc.
announces that it will be applying FarMore® technology to
lettuce seed. INCOTEC® lettuce seed technology coupled with the
FarMore Technology seed treatment platform provides growers a
powerfully effective tool that gives them a solid punch against
early-season insect and disease infestation. Serving as the
first line of defense, FarMore Technology has the potential to
improve seed germination, seedling emergence, stand
establishment and plant vigor.
FarMore Technology from
Syngenta Seed Care™ is the first comprehensive seed delivered
system that helps maximize vegetable production by enhancing
performance and value. A commercially applied combination of
separately registered seed protection products and protocols,
FarMore Technology offers superior early-season insect and
disease protection for maximum return on investment potential
and grower convenience. With the introduction of the insecticide
component for leafy vegetables, FarMore Technology now can offer
lettuce growers a new level of seed protection and crop
performance by delivering targeted protection against
early-season sucking and chewing insects including aphids,
leafminers and whiteflies.
While seed-applied insecticides offer a wide range of advantages
for lettuce growers, seed treatment applications need intricate
attention from coating companies. Valuable lettuce seeds are
very sensitive to all kinds of materials, making the proper seed
coating technology critical to ensure optimal growth of the
roots and developing seedling.
INCOTEC offers innovative pelleting methods for lettuce seed to
maintain the viability of the seed and the effectiveness of
FarMore Technology. The state-of-the-art formulation and
application technology offered by INCOTEC effectively bonds the
components of FarMore Technology to high-valued lettuce seeds to
help them achieve their full genetic potential, ultimately
boosting yields and increasing profit potential at harvest.
FarMore
Technology seed treatment and seed coatings from INCOTEC
together deliver a powerful combination of benefits which offer
growers unparalleled protection from day one.
