Brandt launches high-performance seed treatments

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Brandt is rolling out two new nutrient-based seed treatments — Brandt EnzUp Grain ST and Brandt SeedZone Zn.

Designed for use on corn, wheat, rice and potatoes, Brandt EnzUp Grain ST is a breakthrough in the enzyme category.

This proprietary enzyme technology enhances seed development by dispersing enzymes into the soil, helping the plant emerge faster and stronger. The enzymes on the seed interact with the plant’s roots, help the plant uptake water and nutrients and increase root and shoot growth.

Designed for use primarily on corn, soybeans and large seed vegetables, Brandt SeedZone Zn contains proprietary technology that improves performance of zinc by increasing the exposed surface area of the nutrient particle.

This action results in better retention to the seed and improved solubility which will allow for faster germination. Trials have shown this technology increased exposed surface area of zinc by 10 to 20 times more than micronized zinc.

“We continue to spend a lot of time and energy working on seed technologies and products,” said Brian Haschemeyer, Brandt vice president of discovery and innovation. “Seed treatments, a cost-effective option to address early season nutrition deficiencies, are becoming an essential part of modern agriculture.”

These two products can be used on all soil types and can be mixed and applied with fungicide and insecticides. They are currently available across the United States at select ag retailers.
