Seed Treating
Anderson Ag Enterprises offers seed treatment capabilities. Seed treatment can be considered an “insurance policy” to protect your seed investment by preventing and reducing the risks from a number of soil borne and seed borne pathogens and insects. Treating seed creates better stand establishment and early season growth and vigor.
Variables involved with seed treatment decisions:
- Seed Cost
- Seed Treating Cost
- Crop Value
- Field/ Crop History
- Seed Quality
- Soil Condition
- Tilage Practices
- Planting Date
- Anticipated Disease and Insect Pressure
- Tolerance to Risk

AWAKEN ST® provides quicker germination, promotes early plant vigor, and better root systems.
Seed Treatment Additive- Impress:
We are excited to utilize Impress in our seed treating process. Impress is a non-pesticide additive for use with seed treatment insecticides, fungicides, and growth enhancing products.
Impress reduces dust-off of treatment by more than 90% to keep more product on the seed. This, in turn, increases treatment performance by increasing treatment coverage while keeping it where it is supposed to be. This also leads to improved environmental stewardship and cuts down on worker exposer of the seed treatment.
