FIELD CROPS •

Mix AGTIV^® REACH^® P FIELD CROPS evenly with seeds when filling seeder using grain auger or directly in the hopper or other container. The application rate is 3/4 cup/acre (450 ml of product/ha). One 2 kg pail of the product covers up to 40 acres (16 ha).

It is possible to use a dry seed treater to deliver the powder (see below for details).

AGTIV^® REACH^® P FIELD CROPS is compatible with legume inoculants.

Recommendations

• AGTIV^® REACH^® P FIELD CROPS powder may “bulk up” seeds. It is important to calibrate the seeder to ensure correct seeding rate is attained. 
• When planting, avoid using the product with wet equipment. Allow the equipment to dry and make sure that all the mechanisms and the piping of the seeder are dry. It is also possible to use a neutral absorbent to absorb excess water. 
• For optimum results, it is recommended to seed within the 8 hours following coating with the product. Ensure proper seed-soil contact to minimize any desiccation of the mycorrhizal inoculant.
• Do not mix the product and fungicide seed treatments in the same tank. Apply to seed once treatment is dry. 
• Do not mix the product with granular or liquid fertilizers.

Dry seed treaters

A dry seed treater can be used to easily deliver AGTIV^® REACH^® P FIELD CROPS onto seeds. It is recommended to perform a calibration test with the device to adjust the flow rate to the drill box filling rate.
