The natural variability in canola seed size can cause several issues, such as seeding misses, and double- or triple-seeded canola, which impact emergence. Pelta technology optimizes seed size and uniformity for more accurate seed placement, greater survivability, and stronger stand establishment.
Enabling accurate seed placement removes one variable at seeding time and helps maximize canola hybrid performance and yield potential. Plants that are seeded accurately develop more uniformly and don’t compete for resources. Consistent seed size also allows for growers to tap into singulation planter technology, which effectively transforms canola into a row crop, rather than a broadcast-seeded crop.
Syngenta research trials have shown that Pelta — combined with singulation planting technology — improved canola emergence by up to 40%. Pelta also allows for better application and performance of seed treatment technologies.
