Wolf Trax PROTINUS promotes early plant health for optimal plant performance
PROTINUS™, a new seed treatment product promising early nutritional benefits for field crops will be available in time for 2008 planting, Wolf Trax announced today.
Key benefits of early nutrition and plant health such as early emergence and greater root mass contribute to optimal plant performance throughout the season. PROTINUS ensures the seed gets the early nutrition it needs to reach its full genetic potential.
“This product is quite different from anything else on the market today,” says Brenda Dubeck, Manager Seed Products, Wolf Trax. “The result of many years of research and development, it’s scientifically formulated to work with the seed, enhancing the natural processes of nutrient uptake.”
When applied to seed, PROTINUS acts in two ways to promote early plant health. The seed nutrition product alters (lowers) the pH in the soil adjacent to the seed, enabling the plant to take up nutrients more easily. In addition, the product delivers four key essential micro elements for early plant health, directly into the seed uptake zone.
“The bottom line is that PROTINUS provides insurance against conditions that are not optimal,” says Dubeck. “Seed providers will be interested in this product because it will get their seed off to a great start, and increase the opportunity to reach maximum yield potential.”
PROTINUS has been tested on major field crops including corn, soybeans, rice, wheat and cotton. According to Dubeck, PROTINUS will be in limited supply in 2008.
