A good and healthy start is essential for the performance of a crop. With the right seed treatment, growers can realize an increased vigour and quality and a higher initial growth speed of the crop. KWS now offers this INITIO treatment for spinach and bean seeds.
INITIO is a nutrient-rich coating that gives a strong and uniform start to spinach and bean seeds, enabling the crop to reach its full growth and yield potential.
INITIO is a reliable and sustainable seed treatment that contributes to more uniform plant development by giving the seed direct access to micronutrients.
One of the focus points of KWS is to give growers the best possible opportunity of achieving the highest yields. INITIO can help to live up to that ambition. The components in INITIO stimulate root development and a more uniform and vigorous growth. With INITIO, plants show a greater tolerance to harsh conditions.
This INITIO treatment now comes standard on 90% of all spinach seed Lefroy Valley sells. This allows growers to experience the benefits of seed treated with INTITO.
