Frequently Asked Questions

What is MicroFuze Technology?

MicroFuze Technology is a unique formulation technology that enhances the nutrient solubility and allows the nutrient particles to more densely affix directly on the seed, making them readily available at the time of germination.

What makes SeedStart Root² unique from other micronutrient products on the market?

With unique MicroFuze Technology, SeedStart Root² improves the availability of the nutrients and allows the seed to use those nutrients when it needs them most – at germination and emergence. SeedStart Root² promotes increased absorption of 4 micronutrients that are critical at germination – zinc, copper, manganese, and iron.

Why is zinc important in northern crops?

Zinc is widely deficient in high pH 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.

How is seed-applied nutrition different than foliar applications?

The best timing for maximum yield potential and return on micronutrient investment is at germination, when zinc, copper, manganese, and iron are most critical to defend against planting challenges. By placing these micronutrients directly on the seed where they are available at the time of germination, the plant is being fed what it needs when it needs it.
