Early Season NutritionBy providing supplemental nutrition needed for crop establishment, PROTIVATE can allow plants to thrive in the early stages of crop growth. 
Talc ReplacementPROTIVATE works as a seed-drying source, even in high humidity conditions, to improve singulation and flowability — eliminating the need for talc or graphite. 
Critical MicronutrientsAs a highly concentrated nutrient source for young crops, PROTIVATE can help combat nutrient deficiencies associated with cold, wet soils — alleviating post-planting uncertainties surrounding nutrient availability. 
Seed Flow and LubricityIn the planter box, PROTIVATE provides flowability and encourages better seed singulation, helping to avoid costly skips and doubles. 

Features & Benefits

Plant Smarter With A Dual-Purpose Seed Enhancer

Each season brings a different set of challenges that can leave soils cold and wet — potentially restricting access to critical nutrients. PROTIVATE nutritional seed enhancer is designed to give young crops the nutrients needed for optimal crop establishment while also eliminating the need for talc. By providing the right nutrition, PROTIVATE can enable your plants to thrive in their early stages of growth.

 
 

Research

Critical Nutrients At The Right Time

By applying the right nutrients directly to the seed, they are then delivered to the right place (near growing roots) and at the right time (during the seedling’s most vulnerable growth stages) — giving plants a better chance to withstand early season cold and water stress.

Increased Corn YieldPROTIVATE showed positive ROI in 14 of 19 trials over a 5-year timeframe with an average corn grain yield increase of 4 bushels per acre.chart showing Dribble-Banded CENTURO Treated UAN Improved Corn YieldThe underlying data was provided by SGS North America under a Research Trial Financial Support Agreements with Koch Agronomic Services, LLC.

Formulations

Flexible Formulation

The PROTIVATE supports various application methods that can fit the equipment available for growers or retailers. This provides a flexible way to put nutrition right where the crop needs it. Each formulation contains phosphate, manganese and zinc. These nutrients help support shoot and root growth during crop establishment, photosynthesis and drive the metabolic reactions needed for a plant to reach optimal yield potential.

NU4-DRI

Most commonly used in corn and major row crops, NU4-DRI contains nitrogen, which is a critical component in the building blocks of proteins and is needed for the chlorophyll molecule to enable photosynthesis. By providing proper nutrition to the seed, plants can better withstand early-season cold and water stress while progressing through the vegetative growth stage. Your favorite partner in the planter box, NU4-DRI is the right seed treatment to address the critical, early stages of crop growth to maximize yield.
