Currently, the pre-sowing treatment of crop seedlings with trace elements together with subsequent foliar feeding has become widely used as the first important technological technique in the management of mineral nutrition of crops.

Because pre-sowing seed treatment solves a number of important technological issues, such as increases germination energy by 5-6% and seed germination by 8-10%, stimulates growth and development of young seedlings, forms a well-developed root system, in particular, lateral root hairs, improves the consumption of water and mineral nutrition by the root system, promotes the emergence of strong, friendly and uniform seedlings, increases stress resistance and productivity of crops.
In order for crops to receive friendly strata in the initial stages of growth and development, I would advise, in addition to pesticides, to combine in one working solution fertilizers TM “Avangard”, which contain an easily accessible complex of trace elements and biologically active compounds: in the early phenophases are not able to actively absorb mineral nutrients from the soil by the root system – even if they are contained there at a high optimally balanced level, – said the head of products and services of micro fertilizers company Sergei Adamenko. “And the treatment of seeds with chelated trace elements promotes not only the germination and germination of seeds but also the growth and development of the root system of crops, including lateral root hairs, which actively consume water and mineral nutrition.”
In addition, it is important to treat the seed with a growth stimulant, because before sowing the seeds are at rest, which is responsible for the so-called “rest hormone”. As the seed germinates, its level decreases, and it is replaced by gibberellins and auxins. However, if the weather conditions during this period are not favorable enough, these processes are slower, and, as a consequence, there are uneven or liquefied shoots. Under such conditions, it is recommended to use growth stimulants to activate seed germination and the emergence of friendly seedlings.
Given this, for pre-sowing seed treatment Sergei Adamenko recommends using a special easily digestible fertilizer Vanguard Start (N -100, P₂O₅ -70, K₂O – 20, SO₃ – 15, CaO – 10, B – 5, Fe – 10, Mn – 5, Cu – 2, Zn – 5, Mo – 0,5, Co – 0, 1, g / l of amino acids and polysaccharides) in the norm of 0.5-1.0 l / t of seeds and fertilizer-growth stimulator Avant-garde Stimulus (potassium humate in terms of humic acids – not less than 40 g / l, succinic acid – 3 g / l, trace elements, other biologically active elements) in the norm of 0.5-1.0 l / t.
The complex of mineral nutrients of Avangard Start fertilizer will promote the establishment of high potential yields of varieties or hybrids of crops, stimulate the growth of creative tissues of growth points of both the root system and vegetative organs and activate the enzymes of young plants. Vanguard Stimulus will increase seed germination, accelerate its germination, in the future – will improve the resistance of crops to adverse environmental conditions, stress, promote the formation of a strong root system, accelerate the growth and development of the culture as a whole.
Therefore, the treatment of seeds with trace elements in combination with a complex of growth stimulants and disinfectants is a profitable and highly cost-effective technological solution for obtaining high sustainable crop yields.
