Blue River Hybrids is pleased to make available Apex Green seed coating on organic Roadrunner alfalfa seed to help customers have more productive stands of alfalfa. Apex Green seed coating is a carefully formulated mix of minerals and carefully selected strains of rhizobia bacteria. Apex Green is specifically designed for legume seed, is virtually dust-free, and bonds to each seed in a dense durable coating. The coating provides for a protected germination zone to ensure seed to plant survivability and to stimulate vigorous growth in young seedlings.
Apex Green Organic Seed Coating ensures;
With Apex Green coated seeds you can grow more plants per bag, even though you are actually planting less seed. Uncoated seed performs well under perfect field conditions, but Apex Green Seed Coating provides good performance under less than perfect conditions.
