Agnition Launches Commence for Corn
17 March 2016 Commence for Corn, a microbial catalyst seed treatment for corn that stimulates microbial activity for healthier soil and a superior growth environment is now being offered by Agnition.
“A healthy start is immensely important for corn crops. With Commence for Corn, producers see consistently faster emergence, stand count and healthier, more robust corn plants that stay ahead all year long,” said Agnition senior research manager Evan Johnson. “As the corn plants mature we also consistently measure greater root mass and thicker stalks which provide benefits such as improved stand, greater nutrient flow and resistance to pests and weather damage.”
According to the company, Commence for Corn’s active ingredients are released into the soil after planting. There they stimulate naturally occurring microorganisms, which helps improve stand count, root structure, and overall plant health.
“Our corn seed treatment is active. When the seed is planted active ingredients are released into the the area around the root where the plant gets all its nutrients. This generates a much larger root structure. A typical base corn seed treatment sits on the seed and waits for something to attack; Commence for Corn is an offensive seed treatment that positively affects the seed environment,” Johnson said.
Agnition also offers seed treatments for wheat and soybeans.
