Monitoring soil temperature is a vital parameter to consider when planning to drill sugar beet seed. Planting into a warming seedbed will help to optimise field emergence and promote strong establishment. In addition to ensuring a level seedbed and good soil structure, the British Beet Research Organisation (BBRO) highlight that “seed germination will start where soil temperatures are above 3°C but will be slow below 5°C” (BBRO SB Reference Book, 2019). Please click here to explore the BBRO Reference Book further.

Available for a wide range of species and available for both conventional and organic growers, Organic emergis is a seed priming process that helps improve speed of germination, provides a more uniform emergence, and promotes earlier and stronger plant establishment. Species availability: Coriander, Fennel, Leek, Onion, Parsley, Parsnip, Pepper, Pumpkin, Tomatoes.

Improve the speed and uniformity in the germination process with Organic tempo seed priming, available for both organic and conventional growers. Organic tempo helps combat abiotic stresses related to temperature and light, enabling the seed to germinate in the dark and under temperature stresses. Organic tempo raises the upper-temperature limit and reduces the requirement for light that is required for the germination process.

Preferred by organic growers producing carrots, onions, and turnips, organic oxykote is a tan, heavy, split pellet offering excellent plantability and uniform placement. Species availability: Carrot, Lettuce, Onion, Turnip.
