Los Grobo and Rizobacter present a new Professional Corn Seed Treatment
For this campaign, Los Grobo and Rizobacter present an integrated proposal for "Ready to Use" corn seed that delivers a high impact yield at low cost. It is the Grobo 1923 BTRG hybrid recently introduced on the market by Grupo Los Grobo and already tested with excellent results, which in addition to the protection of traditional seed therapy incorporates a technological plus: Vitagrow TS Biostimulation and Zinc Microfertilization provided by Status ZN. Two professional seed treatment alternatives will be marketed, one with biostimulation and another with biostimulation plus the addition of zinc.

“This is a big step for the Grupo Los Grobo hotbed. We are one of the few hybrid sales companies that is activating its seeds with a professional treatment from its own processing plant and in alliance with a leader in the manufacture of these products,” said Guillermo Alonso, Los Grobo Agropecuaria technical advisor. In addition, he commented that "this development will be the starting point for adding value in new products from seed such as growth promoters, mycorrhizae, elicitors, among others."

For his part, Martin Sackmann, Manager of Innovation and Technical Development of Grupo Los Grobo, stated: "This technology for professional treatment of seeds with biological products and micronutrients is already a reality in large companies in Europe, the United States and Brazil, although It is still very incipient in our country. We want to position ourselves as leaders in this type of solutions that mean a contribution in root development, initial growth of the crop and provide important answers in yield with a reduced additional cost per bag. We are aware that with these developments we are contributing to improving the sustainability of our production systems and optimizing the use of resources”.

In turn, Facundo Tancredi, leader of the Rizobacter Crop Nutrition and Biostimulation line, assured that "thanks to joint action, it is possible to continue developing agronomic practices that generate a differential in production systems" and highlighted that, through of this project, "the firm Los Grobo will have two highly tested technologies that will form part of its value proposition". He also explained that "the treatment with Vitagrow TS improves the efficiency of resource use through the activation of genes and the saving of metabolic energy, while the option of Vitagrow TS plus Status Zn adds an improvement in the performance of crops in areas where zinc thresholds are below optimal levels.”

In summary, each Grobo 1923 BTRG “Ready to Use” corn seed incorporates an integrated proposal of extra-genetic technology in an exact dose, which includes: genetics, biotechnology, biostimulation, zinc microfertilization. It is a professional quality seed treatment that guarantees greater uniformity, better crop yield and superior performance. Source: Los Grobo/Rizobacter → ruralnet.com.ar
