The two pictures above show germinating seedlings one week after planting. Fast root growth is one of the advantages of using ENCASE® for soybeans. It is not uncommon for soybeans treated with ENCASE® for soybeans to have a root system that is at least 25% larger one week after planting and up to 50% larger after three weeks.
Our unique combination of materials makes ENCASE® for soybeans unlike any treatment on the market today. There are five key components that provide the germinating seed with an environment that will encourage rapid emergence and beneficial support throughout the growing season:
- Nutritionally balanced Prudent® ST fortified with PhoNix.
- Urea Phosphite and Nutrol® for the control of most fungal diseases.
- A mixture of native naturally occurring beneficial microbes including patented strains of: Azotobacter paspali, Azospirillum lipofernum, Glomus mossae, Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.
- Embella® and other bio-accelerants to stimulate the growth of beneficial microbes.
- Imidacloprid to protect the seedling from insect pests for the first 3 to 4 weeks.
Research: Each year we evaluate thousands of lines and participate in 3 testing cooperatives. Wellman Seeds evaluates over 250,000 corn and soybean yield plots each year.
Winter Increase: We take the newest lines identified in our testing program and go to winter increase in South America. By doing this we can have a variety in your hands two years before the major seed companies.
ENCASE® for Soybeans: Valued at well over eight dollars per unit, this seed treatment is included on every unit of seed we sell. Over the past 5 years ENCASE® treated seed has out-yielded untreated seed by over 5 bushels per acre.
ENCASE® for Corn: Valued at over sixteen dollars per unit, this seed treatment protects against many insects and diseases that commonly reduce seedling emergence. With ENCASE® for corn your germinating seed will be protected from wireworms, and seed corn maggots, in addition to most major soil-borne diseases. With ENCASE® for corn you will see a more uniform stand of healthy fast emerging seedlings. ENCASE® for corn is available only from Wellman Seeds.
