Seed Priming

Seed priming involves taking seed through the early stages of the germination process by exposing the seeds to various abiotic conditions. Priming brings all of the seed to an equal point of germination which enables fast and uniform emergence when planted.

Benefits of Seed Priming

  • Faster speed of emergence
  • Improved uniformity
  • Earlier canopy development
  • Wider temperature range for germination
  • Increased final population
  • Optimized harvesting performance
  • More yield and enhanced product quality
