SEED TREATMENT

Back To Your Roots Seed Treatment can be used with Organic and Conventional production systems. It is designed to add nutrients and microbial life onto the seed prior to planting.

Begin with approximately 160 litres of clean water, Add:

• 1 L ZumSil (source of silica - provides physical protection against pathogens and insects, promotes stronger roots and cell wall structure, increases stress resistance).
• 25 lbs Micronized Soft Rock Phosphate (loaded with phosphorous, it is also a good source of calcium and other trace minerals - helps with growth and early root development).
• 10 lbs Organic Cane Sugar (source of carbon - adds stability to the soil and feeds the microbes).
• 1 L Humi(K) acid (another source of carbon—draws and holds water close to the seed).
• 10 gal Microbe Tea (adds diverse microbial life which is essential for soil life).
• Heads Up Plant Protectant (optional) (activates plants natural defences enabling full season disease resistance).*
  
  *Mixture will treat approximately 600 bushels of seed. Heads Up Plant Protectant is also recommended to ensure the plant’s immunity is available when needed. 1 gram of Heads Up mixed with 1 L of water treats 163 kg of dry seed. 50 grams (1 package) treats 18,000 lbs of seed. Heads Up is currently registered for use on edible beans, soy beans and potatoes in Canada.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

• Mix in the order listed.
• Adjust water to accommodate seed size and mixing system.
• Avoid storage of mixed product for extended periods of time.
• Once the seed is treated, wait anywhere from 1 hour to overnight before transferring to seeder and proceeding to plant.
