WHY USE SEED TREATMENTS?
You have probably heard that a seed’s greatest yield potential is the highest just before it goes into the ground. After that, there are many factors such as insects, diseases, and environmental conditions that are threatening that seed’s very existence, let alone its high end yield potential! Fortunately, there are key decisions that growers can make to mitigate risks and establish a good stand at planting. Getting a good stand provides the base for a successful growing season. Seed is one of the largest investments made during the growing season, and seed treatments play a critical role in protecting that investment from a wide range of yield robbing pests. Legend Seeds has a great portfolio of products to protect your yield potential and provide success throughout the growing season.
QuickRoots® technology helps maximize corn yields — especially in fields with limitations in moisture or nutrient availability. QuickRoots technology offers the enhanced nutrient capability of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium, which support root and shoot growth — leading to a stronger crop and greater yield potential.
Benefits of QuickRoots:
Increases phosphate availability and uptake, which increases root volume.
Enables better plant growth and increases yield potential.
Larger root volume helps the plant access more moisture and nutrients, including nitrogen and potassium.
Protect corn from stress with increased moisture and nutrient availability.

BOSS Soy30 is a high concentrate sterile liquid inoculant for soybeans. Soybeans require five pounds of Nitrogen to produce one bushel of grain. If you want to raise your soybean yields your soybeans will need more Nitrogen. Soybean inoculants convert atmospheric Nitrogen to a useable form in the soil to be used by the soybean plant. BOSS Soy30 inoculant is the most effective and the most economical nitrogen supply for soybeans. BOSS Soy30 inoculant is specifically formulated for high volume commercial seed treaters.

Respect the Rotation is an initiative to elevate the importance and grower adoption of herbicide diversity to prevent or manage weed resistance. Glyphosate weed resistance is a dominating threat throughout the United States that affects land values, rental agreements, conservation tillage and can greatly reduce yields. The use of Integrated Weed Management practices, such as use of residuals, pre-emergence herbicides and rotation of crops, traits and herbicides, is critical as no one method is likely to be completely successful.
