Flexibility in Custom Blending for Seed Treatments in Soybeans Tom Kroll

It Starts with Flexible Regulations Unique opportunity in the United States Custom blends are product combinations made: At The Request of the End User By a third party This flexibility allows for local variation History Used with herbicides for many years Widespread use is new to Seed Treatment Proper Implementation EPA requires that: The request be confirmed by the End User Blends are prepared only on request

Product Options Must be Flexible Variation in disease organisms and insects Variation in disease and insect pressure Chemistries vary in effectiveness Variation in rate will impact performance Environmental considerations Time of planting Soil temps and moisture Tillage program

To Determine Best Option Know the Target Disease Seed Decay i.e., Phomopsis Fusarium Rhizoctonia Distribution Seed-born Almost all soils Many soils Favorable Environment Cool Wet Wet to Dry Cool to Warm Damp to Wet Warm (70-80 s) Chemistry Broad spectrum activity Most Chemistries Some are more effective than others Nufarm Chemistry Spirato 480 FS (fludioxonil) Spirato 480 FS (fludioxonil) Spirato 480 FS (fludioxonil)
