Growers are pushing their planting window earlier and earlier. While this strategy can lead to higher yields, it often means planting in the challenging conditions of early planting, such as cool, damp soils. This creates a stressful environment for a new seedling, which must rely on its own energy to get established before its roots can find nutrients.

For retailers and their grower customers, managing this early-season risk is a top priority.

“There's a lot of stress as we’re planting earlier and earlier all the time,” said Cliff Bailey, owner of Sunset Seeds, Inc. “Products like PROTIVATE™ add a lot of value when those crops are planted to get them up, get them growing and get them established.”

Why do growers and retailers trust PROTIVATE™?

A solution that can improve planter performance and provide a nutritional boost is a powerful tool. In the video below, hear directly from a retailer and a grower about their experiences with PROTIVATE nutritional seed enhancer.

How PROTIVATE™ powers a stronger start

The value of PROTIVATE is in its dual-purpose design. For retailers like Bailey, it’s a flexible, reliable product that meets a specific early-season need.

“We chose to offer PROTIVATE because it fulfilled a lot of the things that we needed here for our customers,” explained Bailey. “We wanted to take care of flowability and also provide the plants with something nutritional when they got started.”

For grower Bud Price of Price and Price Farms, the product’s performance in the planter is what stands out, as he’d had issues with other treatments clogging his equipment.

“Since I've changed over to PROTIVATE, I haven’t had any problems with the seed coating — it allows the easy flow of my seed,” said Price.

This combination of improved plantability and early nutrition delivers a clear, season-long benefit. As Price stated, “We have not had to replant corn in the last four years. None at all.”
