HOUSTON, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Commodity Classic -- Meristem Crop Performance today announced the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a new formulation of METALAXYL ST fungicide for use in their patented BIO-CAPSULE TECHNOLOGY™ complete seed-fluency delivery system. The company will now pair METALAXYL ST with its new biocontrol PREPHYTE ST** to bring multiple modes of action and more effective seed protection to soybeans, eliminating the need for liquids and seed treaters.
Key Points:
- Eviston also explained that polymers and colorants used in traditional liquid seed treatments actually decrease the efficacy of the materials applied, something use of the BIO-CAPSULE system avoids entirely.
- "Independent, third-party research has documented that the BIO-CAPSULE puts 10-times the live microbes and other active ingredients on the seed when compared with conventional seed treatment or what can be applied through liquid on the planter.
- This could make liquid seed treatment obsolete."
- "There's been no significant innovation in seed treatment or seed protection for 30 years," he said.
