synthetic polymers/natural resins, liquid
powder, sticker of synthetic polymeres to be disolved in water
mixability, combinations
with ethanol, can be combined with seed treatments mixable in ethanol, e.g. Carbosulfan tech.
with water and ethanol, can be combined with most seed treatments stirrable in ethanol and water
with water, can be combined with most seed treatments
with aqueous systems, can be combined with most seed treatments
special features
water-insoluble, but water permeable, dust-free, re-drying of the seed not necessary
water-insoluble after treatment and drying, but water-permeable, forms an even, dust-free film around the seed
forms an even, dust-free film, high sticking properties at low application rate
forms an even, dust-free film, low transport costs
use
e.g. for maize and rape seed in Combicoat® CBS, for water-non-sensitive seeds
e.g. in the SATEC-TMTD-maize-coating, in vegetable seeds, as e.g. leguminosae
suitable for all kind of seeds
very good for fine-grain vegetable seeds, and seeds which react sensitive on solvents in coatings, as e.g. allium
Bayer Seed
Nunhems is the brand name for their vegetable seed. Market more than 2,500 seed varieties in 28
species
Arize is Bayer’s brand name for rice seed. One of the leaders in Hybrid rice varieties.
BASF

Chemical Ingenuity
Bayer
# 2 in Fungicides
#3 in Global Herbicides
#1 in Conventional Herbicides
BASF
Research Dating Back to the 1800’s
Herbicide Programs in Corn
Potentially 50-500 weed seedling per a meter squared that compete with the corn crop
Fat hen, knotgrass, barnyard grass, hairy finger grass, bristle grasses, black nightshade, common amaranth, common chickweed, mayweeds, annual mercury, velvetleaf, gallant soldier, couch grass, and thorn apple
Fat Hen Gallant soldier
Chemical Programs
Bromoxynil-Buctril 2,4-D., Dicamba Metolachlor-Dual Pyridate Terbuthylazine
**Atrazine was banned in Germany in 1991
Rape Seed
Less than 2% contamination Less than .1% contamination from same
seed family Expect $50 an acre to control weeds
-Primary Chemical
Adopting New Technologies
Monsanto’s Roundup Ready
Bayer’s Liberty Link
**Saves Roughly $10 an/acre in corn and $14 an/acre in rapeseed
Mechanical Technology
Nearly 340,000 visitors came in 2007
Hannover Germany showcases some of the ingenuity of equipment ideas in all of Germany and the World.
