The aim of the experiment is to test seeds treated with FLOBOND against a control group of untreated seeds exposed to the same conditions.
METHODOLOGY
SC100 Treatment at 1.5%
Seed types:
- Turf type Tall Fescue
- Kentucky Bluegrass
85% water regime
Association of Official Seed Analysis (blotter test) (treated on right)
Seedling grow out in soil media (treated on right)
Conclusion
Tall Fescue:
- Treated seeds had an average of 20% faster seed germination vs Untreated
- 5-7% better root growth on Treated vs Untreated
- 3 times better root development on Treated vs Control.
Kentucky bluegrass:
- Generally, treated seeds had 12% higher germination rate vs untreated.
- 3 times better Root mass on Treated vs Control.
Treated seeds with Flobond SC-101, showed in average of 15% faster germination and stand establishment, even with 15-20% less water used. The product has potential and needs to be promoted to large seed companies in US.
