Nufarm Introduces Precinct Seed Treatment

Jul 14, 2021

Nufarm Americas Inc. is pleased to announce the EPA registration of Precinct Seed Treatment, for control of downy mildew, Pythium spp., and Phytopthora spp on more than 50 labeled crops, including corn, cotton, and soybeans.

Precinct moves systemically into plants, leading to uniform distribution within the plant and less leaching or loss due to soil binding. Plus, it is stable under varying conditions, offers lower use rates than other mefenoxam products, and can be used alone or in combination with other seed treatment products for optimum flexibility.

“Precinct’s AI concentration, stability, and broad labeled crops list make it an integral component of our strategy and portfolio quality.

Video: Seeing the Whole Season: How Continuous Crop Modeling Is Changing Breeding

Plant breeding has long been shaped by snapshots. A walk through a plot. A single set of notes. A yield check at the end of the season. But crops do not grow in moments. They change every day.

In this conversation, Gary Nijak of AerialPLOT explains how continuous crop modeling is changing the way breeders see, measure, and select plants by capturing growth, stress, and recovery across the entire season, not just at isolated points in time.

Nijak breaks down why point-in-time observations can miss critical performance signals, how repeated, season-long data collection removes the human bottleneck in breeding, and what becomes possible when every plot is treated as a living data set. He also explores how continuous modeling allows breeding programs to move beyond vague descriptors and toward measurable, repeatable insights that connect directly to on-farm outcomes.

This conversation explores:

• What continuous crop modeling is and how it works

• Why traditional field observations fall short over a full growing season

• How scale and repeated measurement change breeding decisions

• What “digital twins” of plots mean for selection and performance

• Why data, not hardware, is driving the next shift in breeding innovation As data-driven breeding moves from research into real-world programs, this discussion offers a clear look at how seeing the whole season is reshaping value for breeders, seed companies, and farmers, and why this may be only the beginning.
