Seed treatment for peppers

In the cultivation of peppers, seed and soil-borne fungi can cause germination and emergence problems. Immediately after sowing, any fungi on or in the vicinity of the seeds come to life. The seed treatment products in our FarMore® Technology product range protect germinating seedlings and allow them to develop well. This will result in healthy plants, ready to produce an optimum yield.
