Seed treatment for lamb's lettuce

Lamb's lettuce

In the cultivation of lamb's lettuce, seed and soil-borne fungi can cause germination and emergence problems. Immediately after sowing, fungi on or in the vicinity of the seeds come to life. For lamb's lettuce, these major fungi are treated with Maxim® 480FS. Both FarMore® Technology seed treatment products ensure that the germinating seed develops into a strong plant: the basis for a good lamb's lettuce yield.
