Seed+Graphite is a nutritional talc+graphite seed lubricant!
See the difference an application can make. The dish on the left was untreated, while the dish on the right was treated with Seed+Graphite.

Some awesome results coming from our Seed Plus Graphite from @verdesian trials that our SLC agronomists took part in over the last few weeks! #plant23#iowaag#minnesotaag
@CenPrairie don't be afraid to ad a little bit of stress to these bad boys -- stick em in the fridge for an hour or two, or go without watering for a day 👀
We are doing an experiment out of Adams Corner comparing seeds treated with #Seed+Graphite, and seeds using conventional talc/graphite. The treated seeds are currently further ahead with a more even emergence. #AgTwitter
@seedcornking@verdesian Mark -- maybe try adding a little stress to these -- pop in the fridge for a few hours or don't water them for a day -- would be interested to see the results!
@seedcornking@verdesian Mark, this is awesome -- I'm the product manager for S+G
excited to see those results as the shoots come out
let me get you a pitcher at Maguire's for this one man -- shoot me a DM!!
@Cropwise1@iamyourfarmer@PrecisionPlant hey thanks Erin for sending this along
looks like a robust nutrient package in there -- and probably some biostimulants in there too, given the name?
thanks again for sharing and let me know if you'd like a little SPG to plant with this season
cheers Erin!
@iamyourfarmer@Cetter15 no, not the same, but the best I could do to get a small sample in folks' hands
if you do the test, try adding a little stress by not watering for a day or placing near an air conditioner
happy to send y'all some, just lemme know
@iamyourfarmer understand your hesitation -- if you'd like to try some on a few fields let me know, happy to send you some
petri dish was the best i could do to show effectiveness. if it didn't work, I wouldn't have mailed 10K demos to farmers the last couple years
@ me with questions!!
@iamyourfarmer adam, we've done hundreds of trials across the globe with this technology and VLS liked the prodict so much we purchased the company that makes it
really shines thru when seedlings are under some abiotic stressors
avg +4 bu/A in corn; +3 bu/A in beans
half bushel pays for it
@DaveDejmal@iamyourfarmer Dave, I'm the product manager -- what do you need to know?
talc/graphite for seed lube/drying
biostimulant for stress mitigation
nutrients for emergence/stand establishment
holler at me with any questions
Ask your local @StateLineCoop agronomist about boosting your corn and bean emergence this spring with @verdesian product, Seed Plus Graphite! #grow#plant23 https://t.co/N0mjHHvToo
