Farmers preparing for spring planting know that early season conditions can be unpredictable. That’s why Koch Agronomic Services developed PROTIVATE™, a dual-purpose nutritional seed enhancer that provides young crops with the essential nutrients they need for a strong start — while also replacing traditional seed lubricants like talc and graphite.
A Smarter Start for Seeds
PROTIVATE is engineered to deliver nutrients directly to the seed, placing them precisely where and when they’re needed most. This targeted approach helps crops better withstand early season stresses like cold soil temperatures and excessive moisture, giving them a critical advantage during germination and emergence.
Key Benefits of PROTIVATE™
Talc/Graphite Replacement: Functions as a seed-drying agent in high-humidity conditions, improving singulation and flowability without the need for traditional lubricants.
Early Season Nutrition: Supports uniform emergence and early vigor even in less-than-ideal planting conditions, helping set the stage for season-long success.
Enhanced Flow and Lubricity: Promotes smooth seed flow and consistent planting by reducing skips and doubles.
Critical Micronutrient Delivery: Addresses deficiencies that can arise in cold, wet soils, reducing early uncertainty about nutrient availability.
Put Your Crop in a Position to Thrive
By combining the functionality of a seed lubricant with a carefully formulated nutrient blend, PROTIVATE offers farmers an efficient way to improve early crop performance. Test results from SGS North America indicate improved germination and stronger emergence when PROTIVATE is used at planting.
