What are the effects and precautions of the latest corn seed dressing

After entering spring, it is also the sowing time for spring corn, and I believe everyone is familiar with corn seed dressing. After dressing, corn seeds are bright red, and the seedlings grown have slightly better growth and yield than ordinary seeds. So what are the effects of corn seed dressing? What should be noted? Let's take a look together with the editor.

I. Effects of corn seed dressing

1. Preventing seed rot

Although the temperature rises in spring, the temperature is still unstable and the ground temperature is relatively low, which is extremely unfavorable for corn germination. When many farmers plant spring corn, they often see missing seedlings and rotten seeds after sowing, which is caused by the ground temperature. After corn seed dressing, a protective film forms around the seeds, storing temperature and also resisting the invasion of ground temperature, ensuring normal corn germination.

2. Preventing diseases

Generally, seed dressings contain fungicides, which can prevent some diseases during the corn growth period. Diseases in the corn planting process are irreversible, so prevention must be done in advance during production, because once disease occurs later, it will more or less cause some impact on corn yield, and seed dressing can excellently prevent diseases.

3. Preventing insect pests

In addition to fungicides, seed dressing agents also contain insecticides, which can excellently prevent underground pests and some aboveground pests during the growth period, such as wireworms, grubs, aphids, and others. After corn sowing, it will suffer gnawing by underground pests, causing failure to emerge or weak seedlings. After seed dressing, underground pests will not gnaw the seeds, and during the growth period it can also excellently prevent aphid damage.

4. Preventing lodging

When dressed corn seeds are sown, their root system will grow deeper and more developed, and the later lodging resistance of corn will also improve. In addition, because its growth capacity is relatively lighter, yield will also increase somewhat.

II. Precautions for seed dressing

1. It is not suitable to soak seeds to promote germination, because after the seed dressing agent dissolves in water, it will not only make the seed dressing agent ineffective, but after dissolving in water it will also inhibit seed germination.

2. Poisonous items such as medicine bottles, seed dressing tools, and residual seeds must be kept away from water sources to avoid poisoning people and livestock.

3. The pesticides used during seed dressing must be operated according to correct operating procedures, and the dosage of the agent must not be increased at will.

4. After seed dressing, seeds should not be planted in saline-alkali land or low-lying waterlogged land. Both types of terrain will cause the seed dressing agent to lose its original effect and will also cause the seeds to rot.
