Applying a seed treatment to forage seed is a very effective plant protection tool, helping to ensure seedling establishment and early plant development is maximised so that a high producing pasture or sward can be achieved.

The first four to six weeks after sowing is a critical stage in the life of a new plant as seedlings emerge and develop their plant structures. Seed treatment has a very important role to play during this period because it is during this time that seedlings are most at risk from external factors such as pest and disease pressure.
