All-Vantage Seed Coating
ALL-VANTAGE® is an advanced seed coating system for superior application of legume inoculants, fungicide treatments, seed coloring, and nutrient packages to promote better stand establishment.
The ALL-VANTAGE® coating system begins with a specially formulated polymer, Adhere-108®, that acts as a superior binding agent to provide consistent, uniform coverage of the seed. The special binding properties of Adhere-108® reduce dust-off of the coated seed and is completely safe to handle and transport.
AquaBond™ with NUTRI-START®
AquaBond™ is a revolutionary new seed enhancement that is both plant and environmentally friendly. AquaBond™ water absorbing polymer holds water that would normally be lost to percolation or evaporation from the soil and then releases the water back to the seed as needed, allowing the seed to germinate and grow during dry spells until additional moisture is received.
NUTRI-START® is a specially designed micronutrient package that contains essential micronutrients to aid in germination, emergence and promote early root growth.
