Course Description:

The majority of seeds are nutrient imbalanced right from the start. The course discusses how we can restore the balance in seeds and young seedlings using a combination of seed applied nutrition, biostimulants, and crop protection – to ultimately set the plant up with the foundation it needs to maximize its genetic potential. 

Upon successfully completing this course, you will be able to share with your customers:

  • How we can restore the nutritional balance in seeds.
