3. Or while being augered into a tender, cart, drill, etc.
4. Can be applied by sprinkling over a volume of seed manually as seed is carried via an auger or conveyor from one holding compartment to another.
5. Can be applied by sprinkling over a volume of seed using a dry seed applicator/shaker as seed is carried via an auger or conveyor from one compartment to another.
6. Can be applied immediately after dampening seed with a water mist by sprinkling over seed manually or a dry seed applicator/shaker. It is not recommended to make Dry Seed Dressing into a slurry.

Table 1. Application & Rate Recommendations for Crop Type:1 x 20L Kit (22.4lbs) of dressing covers approximately: lbs of Seed Cereals (Wheat, Durum, Barley, Rye, Oats) 6000 lbs Legumes (Peas, Chickpeas, Lentils, Soybeans) 5600 - 5800 lbs Oil Seed (Hemp or Flax) 5600 - 5800 lbs Corn: A 20 L Kit will treat 50 acres of seed at 30,000 seeds per acre. Forage Seeds: A 20 L Kit will treat 400 acres at 10lbs/acre seeding rate if the seed dressing is directly mixed with the seed and being sown using an air drill or gravity fed drill. If the seed dressing is mixed with small seed and being applied on the soil surface (e.g. using a Valmar) a heavier rate of the seed dressing should be applied so that a kit will treat 200-300 acres. Doing a calibration test before entering the field is recommended.

Prior to mixing Part A and Part B, the product has a 1 year shelf life, provided the containers remain closed, kept out of direct sunlight, and maintained at a temperature below +20 degree Celsius. Once Part A and Part B are mixed, applied to the seed there is a 10-day maximum recommended shelf life. As with any biological product variations in humidity and temperature can break the microbes’ dormancy and the product’s effectiveness will diminish. Absolute maximum time after product is applied to seed is 18 days (not recommended). Mix as fresh as possible.
