Our seed technology, priming, offers the seed the best possible start once sown in the field.
It is important to know how to optimise the priming for an individual seed lot. Differences between lots can be more important than differences between cultivars.
Typical benefits from priming are:
Increase in speed of germination
More uniform germination and development
Emergence over all seedbed environments
Wider temperature range for germination
Better crop stands
One practical drawback is that primed seeds often, but not always, deteriorate faster during storage. Due to Germains expertise and experience, we offer a balance of the most rapid germination and the longest shelf life.
