“CROP INSURANCE „ THAT REALLY PAYS OFF I” COMPLETE AND COST EFFECTIVE BRASSICA EMERGENCE INSURANCE M The Prillcote SUPERSTRIKE Brassica seed coating provides essential BS protection to the emerging seedlings, dramatically improving establishment, growth and yield. The unique coating contains an insecticide for pest control and two fungicides for protection against a range of damping-off diseases, both of which have plagued Brassica growers in the past. JI&HaH W /j - * wI-Hb Molybdenum, an important trace element is also included in the \ A coating plus a new additive, Magnesium. NEW FORMULATION FOR 1985 SEASON M Since the introduction of SUPERSTRIKE brassicas, research and lOat ' . development has been ongoing and has led to advances in the * SUPERSTRIKE concept.A new low temperature drying process has v'r’ improved coating efficiency while retaining seed vigour. insecticide molybdenum x ■ f jpj Research has enabled Coated Seed Ltd to substantially reduce the L 0 as insurance against -j rOyJMk coating volume applied to each seed while maintaining the ™°oS a™t MAGNESIUM an' enCy ' concentration of active ingredients.
