PreMagic® and PreNova® pregerminated seeds deliver essentially 100% viable plants for useable counts from 92-100%. More useable seedlings yield greater profitability for you.

Syngenta Seeds, the leader in practical technology, has now developed PreNova® and PreMagic® pregerminated seed products that guarantee top performance. This unique technology is patented and only available from Syngenta Seeds.

The Pregermination Difference.

During the pregermination process, the seed coat cracks and the radicle emerges. Using a sorting process, dead seeds and abnormal seeds are removed. The result is PreMagic; essentially 100% viable seeds. The next step dries the seed to the moisture content of normal seed. This step results in PreNova; Pregerminated seed with extended shelf life.

PreNova seed is about half way through stage 1. Just add water and PreNova seed is ready to grow. PreNova consistently delivers 92-95% useable seedlings. And because PreNova seed is dry, (moisture content similar to that of non-pregerminated seed), shelf life is six-months.

Unlike priming seed, any lot can be pregerminated. Because there is no need to wait for a prime-able lot, with PreMagic or PreNova you get what you order when you need it.

PreMagic and PreNova are easy to handle. Both forms work with any seeder.

PreMagic and PreNova deliver improved profitability because of reduced chamber or stage1 time. You’ll see faster turn around and less handling of trays. That is especially helpful when bench space and labor is at a premium. Higher counts in your plug trays mean more efficianet use fo beench space;
