Seed Applied Products
PRUDENT GUSTO is a unique biological seed treatment that has been proven to be very effective in
maintaining plant health throughout the entire growing season. The beneficial microbes found in
PRUDENT GUSTO all work synergistically in the rhizosphere and provide food for each other while at
the same time return nutrients to the crop in exchange for sugar. These beneficial microbes will colonize
the root system of corn, soybeans and wheat with such high numbers that pathogens present in the soil
can not get close enough to the roots to damage the plant. Yield increases from using PRUDENT
PRESTO have ranged from 2 to 5 bushels per acre on corn, soybeans and wheat.
Prudent ST is a seed based fertilizer that can provide the seed with many of the nutrients that are
required for germination and early plant growth. Research has shown that germinating seedlings need
phosphorus and other nutrients to grow well. Cool soils associated with earlier planting dates will
release nutrients much slower to the seedlings. Prudent ST is compatible with most seed treatments
and is very easy to use. Average yield increases from the use of this product have ranged from 1 to 5
bushels per acre. PRUDENT ST is a supplement to and not intended to be a replacement for a good
fertility program.
Prudent 42CW with NUTROL when applied to the seed will prevent many fungal diseases from attacking
the germinating seed and young plant. PRUDENT 42CW is systemic and it enters the seed when the
seed is treated. It is a great mitigator of stress and will enable the germinating seedlings to get off to a
great start. PRUDENT 42CW will stay in the plant and continue to work even after germination. The
great thing about this compound is that it will not harm or interfere with the activity of beneficial
microbes. Most other seed treatments, especially strobin based compounds will kill or suppress the
activity of all microbes in the soil, including the beneficial microbes in the soil.
MaxGrow is a bio-accelerant that when applied to the seed will serve as food for the beneficial bacteria
on the seed and in the soil. Because of its composition, MaxGrow is not a suitable food source for the
harmful bacteria that are also present in the soil. When used as directed MaxGrow can “wake up” the
beneficial microbes and encourage them to become established on the plant roots earlier in the growing
season. MaxGrow is especially helpful when the seed is planted early when the soils are cool.
The purpose of the MicroKing seed treatment system is to encourage
the growth of beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere and allow these
microbes to help protect the germinating seedlings and the plants that will
develop.
Many seed treatments on the market today work by killing everything
on the seed and in close proximity to the seed. As the effectiveness of
these treatments diminishes over time, there are no beneficial microbes in
place to assist the plant in defending its self from attack by pathogens.
MicroKing is totally different. Five unique components are found in a
MicroKing case that will treat 250 fifty pound bags of seed. The components included are Prudent
Gusto, Prudent 42CW Prudent ST, MaxGrow, and a seed protectant polymer. When applied to the
seed, MicroKing can facilitate the establishment of a zone of beneficial microbes around the germinating
seedling while at the same time provide the nutrients plants need as they begin to grow. In testing since
2006 MicroKing has out yielded most conventional seed treatments by 3 to 5 bushels per acre.
By combining five different compounds MicroKing can protect the plants from many different
problems. If the soil is low on available nutrients Prudent ST will take care of that problem. If the
beneficial bacteria in the soil are not close to the seed Prudent Gusto will be sure that sufficient numbers
of beneficial microbes are right where they can be of benefit to the plant. If fungal pathogens try to attack
the plant Prudent 42CW with Nutrol will protect the young plant. If you are planting early and the soils
are cold, MaxGrow will help wake up the beneficial microbes early so they can go to work protecting the
plant. The seed polymer will help hold all of the components in close proximity to the plant where they
will be most effective.
