Balaton,
MN, USA – Aug 6, 2015 – Agnition announced today that it has launched Commence®
for Wheat, a microbial catalyst seed coating for wheat in Europe.

Commence®
for Wheat stimulates microbial activity for healthier soil and a superior
growth environment. Increased microbial activity near the seed liberates
nutrients to create a healthy environment for superior germination and nurtures
wheat throughout the growing season.
“We
consistently see faster emergence and healthier and more robust wheat plants
that stay ahead all year long,” said Agnition Senior Research Manager Evan
Johnson.
“We
bring value to the market through better plant health, and because our seed
coating stimulates microbial activity we provide value through healthier soil.
Commence® not only provides an advantage to this year’s crop but
also long-term value through increased soil health.”
Typical
seed coatings are defensive and provide passive protection that is effective
only when insect or disease pressure is present. Commence® for
Wheat is offensive in nature, allowing it to provide value to your crop every
year.
Unlike
inoculants the active ingredients in Commence® for Wheat are
released in the soil after planting where they stimulate naturally occurring
microorganisms to improve plant vigor, root structure and overall plant
health.
“Our
wheat seed coating is active and goes out into the rhizosphere, the area around
the root, and that’s where the plant gets all its nutrients for a much larger
root structure. Commence® is an offensive seed coating that
positively affects the rhizosphere rather than a coating that sits on the seed
and waits for something to attack,” Johnson said.
Commence®
for Wheat is a highly compatible seed coating that enhances drought tolerance
by helping wheat plants become healthier and more efficient when less water is
available.
Multiple
European trials reinforce several years of research conducted in the U.S. which
demonstrate that Commence® for Wheat consistently increases
yield.
“We
started working on Commence® for Wheat three years ago. After
extensive lab, greenhouse and field research were conducted to optimise the
formula and rates; we are confident that Commence® for Wheat is a
product that consistently improves soil and plant health,” Johnson said
Commence® for Wheat is built on two exclusive technologies.
Patented
Microbial Catalyst® technology increases the number and activity of
soil microorganism that liberate the nutrients plants require to thrive.
ProCoat™
encapsulation technology is a unique film-forming polysaccharide that adheres
the active ingredients in Commence® to the seed and then releases
them after planting for maximum benefit.
Commence®
for Wheat is classified as a liquid micro nutrient fertiliser blend in
compliance with EU regulation 2003/2003.
