Faba beans and peas
Faba beans and peas are sown early in the spring as soon as the soil is ready, and rapid emergence is crucial. SeedSpeed® can play an important role in supporting this process. The product contains a unique microorganism that helps release phosphorus and potassium from the soil surrounding the plants, making it easier for the legumes to absorb the nutrients already stored in the field. This leads to a better start for the plants and faster emergence.
Our customers have had great success treating their faba beans with SeedSpeed®, and we have received numerous reports of both improved emergence and higher yields.
