Frequently Asked Questions - Nutriplant™ SD/SG/SL

Nutriplant™ Seed Treatment is a nutritional supplement to enhance emergence and root growth. It is not a fungicide, nor an insecticide, nor an inoculum. It is available as a powder (Nutriplant™ SD or Nutriplant™ SG) and as a liquid (Nutriplant™ SL).

Nutriplant™ SD is designed to be applied right in the planter. Mix the recommended dose of Nutriplant™ SD with the seed, mix thoroughly to obtain a uniform coating and plant as usual. Nutriplant™ SL is designed to be applied by misting the seeds with the product to obtain a thorough coating, let dry, and plant as usual.

Several companies (including Enviropac and Gustafson) manufacture equipment, large and small, for applying either liquids or powders to seed. These and others can be found on the internet. Costs start at under $200.
