Seed Germination and Vigor: Ensuring Crop Sustainability

Why Boost Seed Germination?

When it comes to growing healthy, thriving plants, getting seeds off to the best possible start is crucial. One effective way to boost your seeds germination rate is by using biological fertilizers.

These products can provide seeds with the nutrients, biology, and support they need to sprout and establish strong growth from germination to roots to plant.

By applying a biological fertilizer at the time of seeding, you can give your plants a significant head start over competing weeds. The enhanced seeds germination and early growth provided by these specialty fertilizers helps your desirable plants out-compete undesirable weeds for resources like water, light, and nutrients.

In addition to improved seed germination rates, biological fertilizers also tend to foster more uniform growth across your planting. This results in a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing final outcome on your farm.

Furthermore, the even emergence and development of your crops creates a polished, well-tended appearance, and can also assist at harvesting time.

Use Beneficial Microbes to Boost Seed Germination

One of the best ways to kick-start a biological soil/plant relationship is to inoculate seeds in a biostimulant that has been fermented in an anaerobic environment, using a diversity of active beneficial microbes.

Using (naturally) inoculated seeds, not only produces fast seed germination, but once in the ground the microbially active fertilizer can trigger dormant microbes in the soil. 

Inoculating seeds with ‘living’ biology such as beneficial bacteria and fungi, can also help to improve germination rates. Furthermore, biological inoculants give the young plant the optimal chance of surviving and thriving in its new environment.

What is Ample™ Seed Treat?

Ample Seed Treat is a proprietary blend of micronutrients designed to increase the microbial activity in the immediate seed zone. Seedlings can emerge up to three days earlier than non-treated seeds resulting in stronger plants that withstand cold and heat stress better.
