Seed Priming

Priming in botany and agriculture is a form of seed planting preparation in which the seeds are pre-soaked before planting.
Priming is not an extremely widely used method. In general, most kinds of seeds experimented with so far have shown an overall advantage
over seeds that are not primed. Many have shown a faster emergence time (the time it takes for seeds to rise above the surface of the soil), a
higher emergence rate (the number of seeds that make it to the surface), and better growth, suggesting that the head-start helps them get a
good root system down early and grow faster. This method can be useful to farmers because it saves them the money and time spent for
fertilizers, re-seeding, and weak plants.

Seed Priming Engineered Seed Nutrition

Seed Priming is the latest technology in engineered seed nutrition. This is a powerful advance in modern farming practice and RLF are
absolute world-leaders. Now Farmers and Growers can directly fertilise the seed because of RLF technology called SDS.

RLF are at the forefront of the agricultural industry and leading the way with our specialised range of BSN products to ensure that plants are
set for maximum yield potential.

How it Works

Seed Priming directly delivers the optimum nutrients required for the seed embryo to register its future yield potential. And, as a result, it
develops root and shoot mass designed to achieve maximum yield potential in the fully grown plant.

Seed Priming is the very best way to ensure the plant is set for maximum yield potential and the following graphics show how this works.

How the Seed is Treated

RLFs special formulations called SDS allow phosphorus and a Broad-spectrum trace element package to be imbibed (absorbed) directly into
the seed.

This priming elevates all critical nutrients to optimal range, and results in the seed embryo sensing and setting the seeds growth potential
for maximum yield. The seed primer package eliminates any seed variability issues and contains enough nutrients to feed the seed for the first
2 3 weeks of its life.

The following graphical sequence shows in greater detail how this works :
The Features are Numerous

Absorbs readily into the seed, leaving the seed dry

Eliminates seed variability

Improves seed quality

Delivers optimum nutrient package of Phosphorus, Sulphur, Zinc,

Copper, Manganese + Molybdenum

Increases seed available Phosphorus by up to 350%

Increases yield potential regardless of granular fertiliser rates

 Is effective in ALL soil types

Compensates for depleted or variable nutrient status in the soil

Works with high and low analysis fertilisers

Can produce a final yield increase from 5% to 20% in trials

Returns higher quality crop with greater nutrient value

The Benefits are Outstanding

Stronger, bigger and healthier root systems

Stronger plant growth with early tillers that are more viable

Generates greater Phosphorus activation and improves up-take from the soil

Improves nitrogen efficiency in the plant

Increases biological microbial activity in root rhizosphere which converts

unavailable Phosphorus to available Phosphorus for plant up-take

Promotes better resistance to disease

Provides the plant with greater tolerance to environmental extremes or impact

Augments the plants stress-handling abilities

Buffers fungicides and pesticides

Reduces the toxic effects of fertiliser in the furrow

Improves plant metabolism
