NOTE:
Using talc with liquid hopper applied seed treatments which leave a wet coating on the seed is not recommended.
Seed treatments can cause a deterioration in seed singulation, spacing accuracy, and seed flow into the vacuum seed meter. To minimize the affect seed treatments may have on vacuum meter performance, John Deere Talc Lubricant should be used whenever treated seed is being planted.
Spread 1/2 cup of talc over the top of each hopper full of seeds to be planted. Adjust this rate as necessary
|
so all seeds become coated with talc, while avoiding an accumulation of talc settling in the bottom of the seed hopper.
For small seed sizes, seed types with excessive treatment, or for humid planting environments (all commonly associated with cotton or sorghum planting), increasing the rate to one cup per hopper full of seed and mixing thoroughly may be required.
