Make early-season planting a go with the talc/ graphite replacement, PROTIVATE™.
Plant When You're Ready
Set your season up for success from the start with PROTIVATE. This dual-purpose nutritional seed enhancer is designed to replace talc/graphite and maximize emergence and early-season vigor despite cold, wet soils.
The PROTIVATE™ Impact on Your Crop
By applying PROTIVATE™ directly to the seed, nutrients are available near the root zone - delivered to young crops at a time of year when nutrient access can be difficult to achieve. Explore how different nutrients play a role throughout the plant.
Performs Well in Cold, Wet Conditions
PROTIVATE NU4-DRI increased corn germination 6% compared to the untreated seed in a standard saturated cold germination test, equaling 2,100 more plants/ac.
Calculated using 35,000 seeds/ac or 2.3 acres per unit of seed. Costs and results may vary by location. The underlying data was provided by SGS North America under a Research Trial Financial Support Agreement with Koch Agronomic Services, LLC.

Improvements in yield and nutrient use efficiency may not be observed in all cases.
Multiple Formulations for More Flexibility
PROTIVATE offers flexible, highly efficient ways to put nutrition right where and when the crop needs it. Various formulations are designed for use on any crop. So no matter your operation, or whether you're applying in the planter or downstream, there's a formulation fit for you. Additionally, some formulations are designed to include graphite, allowing PROTIVATE to act as an 80/20 talc/graphite replacement while making it ideal for use in high-speed planters.

Yield Benefits
Providing the right nutrients earlier on can help plants combat early-season nutrient deficiencies such as cold, wet soils. PROTIVATE NU4-DRI provided a 4 bu/acre yield advantage over talc/graphite (grower standard practice) in 19 trials during a 5-year period in the Midwest and Southeast.1
