Active Prime coats seeds with a precision blend of phosphorus, potassium, zinc, and biological enhancements. It bridges the critical window between germination and soil nutrient uptake, ensuring that even genetically weaker seeds emerge fast and strong, contributing to superior seed fertility and crop establishment.
Key Benefits
- Accelerates early germination and root elongation.
- Evens out stand emergence across the field for uniform crop development.
- Enhances early root mass and nutrient foraging for improved fertility uptake.
- Reduces establishment risk in cold or wet soils, crucial for early season crop success.
