The early stages of any living organism are vital to future growth and development. Seed health technologies offer a range of benefits that ensure the maximum potential of a plant’s growth, including disease-free seeds with the opportunity of increased nutrient uptake.
Gopure is a conventional seed disinfection treatment that uses a combination of processes and/or crop protection products that inhibit the growth of seed-borne pathogens, such as Pseudomonas spp. and Xanthomonas. Customizable to meet your field challenge, stack gopure with conventional fungicides for added protection from soil-borne pathogens. Also available for organic production.
Reduces pathogens to nearly undetectable levels post-treatment
Protects future crop rotations by reducing the transfer of pathogenic organisms into the field
Improves seed and seedling health, helping to optimize yield
Causes little to no impact on germination or shelf life
Yield is a primary focus when developing seed technologies. However, potential yield increases may be compromised without clean and healthy seeds. Seed-borne diseases are a significant issue that costs the seed industry and vegetable growers significant yearly revenue loss. Contact us to learn more about our seed disinfection services.
Bacterial leaf blight, otherwise known as Xanthomonas campestris pv. carotae, is a concern to carrot seed producers and growers in many regions of the world. The bacterium can survive on or in a carrot seed, spreading via the seed’s movement through the supply chain into the field. Planting healthy, clean seed is an essential first step for effectively managing bacterial leaf blight.
Tested on five carrot varieties, independent lab results conclude gopure is an effective solution for removing Xanthomonas from carrot seed without impacting germination or shelf life.

The early stages of any living organism are vital to future growth and development. Germains has developed a technology that focuses on early plant nutrition, even before the plant emerges, ensuring its success in variable growing conditions. Goseed maximizes the potential nutrient uptake of the seedling, offering many benefits to both the plant and the grower.
Promotes plant emergence & root development
Enhances plant vigor to minimize impact of abiotic stress
Contains micronutrients for improved early crop growth
Maximizes crop performance to increase yield
“After monitoring a few trials with control vs goseed, I have noticed an obvious difference in Emergence, Weight, and Yield.” Arturo Munoz, Romaine Harvest Manager at Ocean Mist
Germains conducted summer Heat Stress Trials and fall Value Justification trials for three consecutive years in Yuma, Arizona. The objective was to demonstrate the performance of Germains lettuce desert pellets versus our competitors.
Number of lettuce varieties trialed: 6
Priming: Emergis
Pellets: Oxykote® & Propellet® Heavy + goseed
Compared with market standard desert primed and pelleted products
Emergence 4 DAP – Soil Temperatures 25-35oC (77-95oF)
Emergence Counts at 4 DAP and 7 DAP
Harvestable Yield
Germains continue to deliver products that outperform competitors’ in early emergence and under high-temperature stress, leading to an increase in potential yield and benefiting the grower in the field. To improve emergence and overcome thermodormancy, goseed is an effective seed treatment solution.
