Seeds are often planted into hostile environments. Cold, wet or dry spring weather can delay germination and hurt seedling vigor.
Combining frequently used planting aids with advanced ingredients can help mitigate those risks. Abivium™, a new seed fluency product from CHS, contains biostimulants and micronutrients to improve planting efficiency, bolster plant health and protect seedlings from harsh conditions.
Interest in biostimulants to boost crop yields is strong, says Steve Carlsen, director of proprietary products with CHS, and Abivium “checks all the boxes” to satisfy demand for an effective, easy-to-use and affordable biostimulant.
“Mitigating bad days during early crop development is where Abivium really shines.”
The product contains talc and graphite to improve seed flow and planting accuracy by reducing seed bridging and static electricity, plus metabolites and antioxidants, which enhance plant cell activity, and eight micronutrients.
Abivium is labeled for application directly onto more than a dozen types of seed, including corn, soybeans and wheat. “Simply sprinkle it over seed — it can’t get much easier,” says Carlsen.
