Features & Benefits
- What does PM223 do?
- PM223 instantly seals up the cut surface , and the nicks and dings on potato seed, allowing farmers to "cut and plant" seed in regions where it has not been done before, thereby saving them the costs of putting treated seed down before planting.
- PM223"s is the only product sold that prevents seed piece rot in wet planting conditions. The film PM223 forms acts as highly effective barrier to water penetration. It works in both cold and warm climates and greatly reduces the need for replanting.
- PM223 can be used as a drying/ suberizing agent in combination with liquid products.
- PM223 promotes early and uniform emergence, plant stand and health by maintaining seed piece integrity.
- What are the benefits of using PM223?
- Prevents seed decay and rot.
- Promotes plant vigor and stand by maintaining seed piece integrity.
- Affords substantial savings by allowing "cut and plant" techniques to be used in wet climates.
- Provides substantial cost savings to farmers.
Applications & Uses

- PM223 Application Instructions
- PM 223 is a flowable powder which is applied just like other powdered potato seed treat products.
- Fill your auger or barrel seed treater with PM223 and apply it as you normally apply other seed treat products.
- Application Rate: You should use @ 0.4lbs. per cwt of seed. The screws on the auger treater of barrel treater may need to be tightened down (or in some instances loosened) to get the correct flow/application rate. We have found that it is difficult to get a full half-pound on one cwt. If you find that you are using that amount, you will probably be spilling some onto the floor.
- The treated seed should have a good visible coating of the product on the cut surface of the seed. A good coating is sufficient. Having extra product on the cut surface does not help.
- Although PM223 is not toxic, it is a fine powder, and appropriate breathing equipment should be used to protect those working with the PM223 from inhaling it.
