The early stages of any living organism are vital to future growth and development. Germains have 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 a number of benefits to both the plant and the Grower.

“After monitoring a few trials with goseed® vs. Control, I have noticed an obvious difference in Emergence, Weight, and Yield.” Arturo Munoz, Romaine Harvest Manager at Ocean Mist”

Key Benefits

Larger seedlings with increased foliage

Value Justification Trial 2014 control vs goseed® post harvest

Desert Lettuce Trial

For three consecutive years, Germains has been conducting summer Heat Stress Trials and fall Value Justification trails in Yuma, Arizona. The objective is to demonstrate the performance of Germains lettuce desert pellets versus our competitors.

Trial Details

Number of lettuce varieties trialed: 6

Priming: Emergis

Pellets: OxyKote® (10,500 – 13,000 pellets per pound) ProPellet® Heavy (16,000 – 19,000 pellets per pound) – Available in white or tan color

Compared with market standard desert primed and pelleted products

Summary

Germains continue to deliver products that outperform competitors’ in early emergence and under high temperature stress, leading to an increase in potential yield and providing benefit to the grower in the field. For improved emergence, and to overcome thermo dormancy, rely on Germains to “Maximize Nature’s Potential”.
