Make the Planting Pass Count

The Seed Is Where the Season Starts.

Planting already puts every seed through one of the most important passes of the year. The right treatment or planter-box product can protect that investment, improve seed handling and give us another way to place useful biology or nutrition right where the crop begins.

That can be as simple as choosing the right talc or talc/graphite blend, or it can mean adding a planter-box biological, inoculant, seed treatment or nutritional component to the program.

Our approach: build around the seed, planter and goal.

Tell us what you are planting, what planter system you are running and what you want the treatment to accomplish. We can help match the product or treatment package to the planting pass.

What Can the Planting Pass Do?

Four Jobs. One Place to Start.

Seed treatments and planter products can solve different problems. Knowing the job helps us choose the right product and keeps the program easy to run in the field.

01

Protect the Seed

Fungicide, insecticide and other treatment components can help protect seed and seedlings during the vulnerable period around emergence.

02

Keep Seed Moving

Talc, graphite and purpose-built seed lubricants support seed flow, meter performance and reliable delivery through the planter.

03

Add Biology at Planting

Planter-box biologicals can place microbes and supporting components with the seed without requiring another in-furrow system or field pass.

04

Customize the Package

Inoculants, SCN protection, biologicals and nutritionals can be combined with a protection package to fit the crop and treatment goal.

Planter-Box Products Can Add More Without Adding Another Pass.

One of the best things about planter-box products is how easily they can fit a planting system that is already going across the field. The goal is to improve seed handling or add a useful treatment without creating unnecessary complexity.

  • Traditional talc and talc/graphite for planter lubrication and seed flow where recommended for the equipment.
  • BioBoost Corn and Soy for growers who want a planter-box biological that also handles the seed-lubrication job.
  • HomeLAND products for value-added planter-box treatment options built around seed flow and seed-applied technology.
  • Product selection by planter system so the lubricant and treatment fit the meter, seed treatment and planting conditions.

Choose the Right Planter Product

Start With the Planter — Then Build the Product Around It.

Seed lubricant and planter-box choices are easiest when we know what the planter needs, how the seed is treated and what else you want the planting pass to accomplish.

Ask a Planter Product Question
What planter and meter system are you running?Equipment recommendations matter when choosing talc, graphite or another seed lubricant.
How is the seed already treated?Seed-coat finish, moisture and treatment tack can affect flow and the amount or type of lubricant needed.
Do you want basic lubrication or a value-added treatment?We carry both traditional lubricants and planter-box products that add biological, enzyme or nutritional components.
How will you handle and mix the product?Even distribution through the seed matters. Follow the current product directions and planter manufacturer recommendations.
Seed Treatment & Planter FAQs

Common Questions at Planting Time.

What does talc or graphite do in a planter?

Talc and graphite are used to support seed flow, lubricity and meter performance. The right choice depends on the planter system, meter design, seed treatment and current equipment recommendations.

Does BioBoost replace talc or graphite?

BW Fusion markets BioBoost Corn and BioBoost Soy as planter-box treatments that replace conventional talc or graphite. Follow current BW Fusion directions and your planter requirements.

Can EZ Custom Ag treat seed I already purchased?

Yes. We work with growers and dealers on custom seed treating. Bring us the seed or talk with us before delivery so we can plan the treatment package and logistics.

Can inoculant, SCN protection or nutritionals be added?

Those are all options we can discuss when building a treatment program. The exact package depends on the seed, crop, treatment goals and current product directions.

Do you ship planter products?

Many dry planter products can ship by parcel or freight depending on package size, destination and product requirements. Contact us for availability and delivered pricing.

How do I know which seed lubricant my planter needs?

Start with the planter manufacturer’s current recommendation, then account for the meter system, seed treatment and field conditions. We can help compare the product options we carry.
