Frequently asked questions

Why is zinc important to PNW crops?

Zinc is widely deficient in PNW soils, but essential for plant health particularly early in a plant’s life. It is a primary element in the plant growth hormone, auxin, and is required to initiate and stimulate germination. However, in northern climates with cool, wet soils zinc is a nutrient that is not readily available. Without proper placement, zinc demands early in the plant lifecycle are extremely challenging to address.

Does the crop need zinc EVERY year?

YES! SeedStart Zeus addresses the zinc deficiency within the seed via seed-applied nutrition, but does not amend the soil properties. By applying SeedStart Zeus to your seed, the zinc requirements are fulfilled during the peak demand timing at germination and emergence.

What makes SeedStart Zeus unique from other zinc products on the market?

SeedStart Zeus provides the highest load of zinc compared to any competing product on the market. With unique MicroFuze Technology, SeedStart Zeus improves the accessibility of the nutrient and allows the seed to use the zinc when it needs it most – at germination and emergence.

Does my crop need additional zinc throughout the growing season?

Seed-placed zinc in SeedStart Zeus is immediately accessible at the time of germination, when zinc is most critical to defend against planting challenges. In order to meet the zinc demands throughout the entire plant lifecycle foliar zinc should also be considered due to the prolific zinc deficiency in PNW soils.
