Choosing Seed Disks
IMPORTANT:
If hopper box treatments are used, be sure to follow the chemical manufacturer's recommendations carefully. Dry powder or fast drying liquid treatments are generally recommended. HIGH OIL CONTENT TREATMENTS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED.
Chemical reaction between farmer-applied seed treatments and treatments commercially applied to seed can cause the seed treatments to become sticky. Certain temperature and humidity levels can further complicate material compatibility. Treatments that adhere to the vacuum meter components can cause reduced population and spacing control.
Check with your chemical and seed supplier for treatment compatibility.
