BSN

BSN Seed Priming

BSN is a unique Broad Spectrum Compound Liquid Seed Treatment that is formulated to safely allow Phosphorus and Trace Elements to be rapidly imbibed (absorbed) by the seed.

The priming of the seed elevates all critical nutrients to within optimum range. The seed embryo senses that BSN has elevated the levels of nutrient and sets potential for maximum yield. BSN continues to provide benefit in the first 2-3 weeks following germination by providing Phosphorus and Trace Elements from the treated seed to the young plant when availability of granular fertiliser is often limited. Following planting BSN drives early vigour root system development improving uptake of granular fertiliser and access to moisture whilst generating increased soil organic matter, root turn over and microbial activity. The BSN mode of action combined with optimisation of seed nutrient levels deliver yield increases in the range of 5% – 20%, improved tolerance to climatic conditions and substantial financial returns to the grower.

Unique RLF Technology used by over 3 million farmers

BSN seed priming products are a unique technology developed by RLF, and now used by over 3 million farmer customers world-wide. With so many farmers – and so much ‘in-the-ground use’ – BSN today has become the world’s #1 selling seed primer.

You too can confidently share this experience as BSN is applied to millions of seeds by millions of farmers, knowing that you are not alone in achieving the same great results that BSN is achieving for its farmer customers throughout the world today.

What is BSN
DELIVERING NUTRIENTS DIRECTLY TO THE SEED

BSN fertilises the seed by priming it with the optimum level of nutrients. BSN is engineered to safely deliver the nutrients into the seed embryo (called imbibing or imbibed). With optimum nutrient in the seed, germination, early growth and young plant formation is directly supported through the first 3-4 weeks of development.

This practice, called seed priming is proven to achieve growth, yield and many other environmental benefits because the plant is able to satisfy its nutrient requirements directly from seed. The seed is primed to achieve the best possible start available to it. In fact, through priming the seed, the embryo registers and establishes the maximum yield potential of the plant. As a result this allows the plant to develop superior root mass and vigorous and strong shoots, tillers and leaf.

BSN is unlike almost any other seed treatment product in the market today. Fertilising the seed by using RLF seed priming technology and BSN is fast becoming the next step in modern farming practice.

Large increases in Seed internal
Nutrient Concentrations are achieved with BSN

This table shows the nutrient analysis of untreated and BSN treated Seed in various crops. Following application of BSN the treated seed has been washed to remove any nutrient on the surface and then ground for analysis to demonstrate increases in Seed Nutrient Concentrations. Internal Nutrient levels are demonstrated to be raised significantly when treated with BSN.

BSN Key Benefits

SDS Provides Safe Transfer of nutrients

Using BSN’s built in Seed Delivery Systems (SDS) the nutrients are safety transported to be in close proximity to the seed embryo; ensuring nutrients have high availability to the young seedling. Importantly, BSN then triggers the seeds own nutrient sensing mechanisms to set the plant for maximum yield potential.

Greater Root Mass

BSN has the immediate effect of quickly growing a robust and larger root system.

This root system is bigger in overall mass, reach, and most importantly surface area. Typically this means an exponential increase in the number of fine root hairs which produce an increased amount of plant exudate and therefore stimulate greater microbial activity.

BSN INCREASES YIELD REGARDLESS OF FERTILISER RATE

It is very common in untreated seeds for nutrient levels to be suboptimal levels. It has been scientifically demonstrated that BSN improves the seeds internal nutrient concentrations.

To ensure yield BSN adds “plant-available” Phosphorous which directly influences the yield potential regardless of fertiliser rates applied to the soil.

early vigor and stronger plant growth

BSN when applied to the seed provides during the first 3-4 weeks of development the embryo, seedling and young plant with the nutrient required for healthy and strong growth.

BSN primed plants clearly show earlier, stronger and better plant growth as the basis for greater future yield potential.

BSN IS EFFECTIVE IN ALL SOIL TYPES

BSN works effectively in all soil types regardless of the soil pH as the nutrient bypass the soil by being taken up from the seed.

higher yields, quality + value

BSN crops and fruits carry the benefits directly through to the farmer with higher yields, better quality and consistent crop and fruit produce. These benefits all result in higher value, bigger margins and an overall greater financial outcome.

fix nutrient variability in seed lots

BSN corrects the nutrient variability that is naturally found in all seeds.

BSN is effectively and quickly imbibed by the seed. The resulting effect is that BSN primes the seed to the optimum range for essential nutrients including Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper, Manganese and Molybdenum; ensuring that all seeds are now in optimum nutrient condition.

bsn is good business for the grower

BSN is good business for the grower who benefits directly from using BSN. The cost of using BSN is often a small percentage of the financial gains achieved through its application – a positive return for every dollar invested.
