New seed treatment designed to boost cereals

Boosting nitrogen use to reduce nitrogen-based fertilizer applications, has been a feature of several products in the past five years.

Lalrise Start SC liquid inoculant aims to improve another key nutrient. The seed treatment designed to enhance phosphorus solubility has received full commercial registration and will be available in spring 2024 for spring wheat, oats, barley and rye.

Canola, corn, soybeans, pulses and winter wheat are also on the label and the product will be available for those crops in the future.

Why it matters: Phosphorus solubility has gained attention related to soil health, yet the full extent of its impact and activity are slowly being realized by researchers, extension personnel and service providers.
