AgriCoat Introduces Organic Seed Treatment To Suppress Fungal Root Decay
April 7, 2014 AgriCoat, a specialist in products and technologies for the seed industry, has introduced a new organic seed treatment that provides improved protection against fungal root decay.
Natural III is a registered organic seed treatment specifically designed to provide a solution to soil disease pressure in spinach, tomato, pepper, cucumber, and other vegetable crops.
Natural III is available for the North American market. There is a significant need for an effective organic vegetable seed treatment, which can provide more consistent control of damping-off and other root decay fungi, according to the company. The active ingredient in Natural III, registered as a biological fungicide, colonizes the root system and protects against harmful fungi.
Natural III is suitable for organic and conventional vegetable production. Mac Keely, General Manager of AgriCoat states: “The lack of an effective treatment for these problems in spinach and other crops has resulted in a large percentage of seeds being planted with inferior protection. Natural III can provide improved protection. We are excited to be able to offer this important market solution”.
