Optimal seed performance in broadacre farming

Preventing dust-off

As a grower investing in high-value broadacre seeds (like canola, sorghum, barley and wheat) you often rely on seed treatments to protect early emergence, yet traditional dusty formulations can lose active ingredients before reaching the soil, wasting capital and creating hazardous dust.

Incotec’s Disco film coats help to keep the integrated active securely on the seed, preventing treatment loss, ensuring the correct dosage for each seed, and protecting your investment in high-value hybrid seeds.

Keeping seeds flowing

Are you still facing plantability issues such as irregular or sticky seeds causing blockages and leading to skips, uneven stands, and yield loss? With Disco film coats you get reduced friction in delivery systems and smoother flowing seeds. This helps you maintain consistent seeding rates at higher speeds while minimizing skips and doubles.

Delivering nutrition

Did you know that micronutrient deficiency (Zinc, Manganese, Copper) in the critical first 14 days of growth is often the hidden limiting factor? In the broadacre cropping landscape, the yield plateau is rarely caused by a lack of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) alone. Traditional soil-applied micronutrients often lock up in alkaline soil or run off in sandy soils, making them chemically unavailable before the seedling can even access them.

Disco Plus film coats deliver a concentrated "starter pack" of trace elements directly to the seed. Placing these nutrients in the soil zone immediately around the plant roots, bypasses the soil-binding issues. This ensures your seedlings have instant access to the building blocks of root development and enzyme activation right from the start.
