Improving Crop Productivity Naturally and Significantly through Superior Seed Enhancement
It all begins with the seed. For years, INCOTEC has been improving plantability and emergence of seeds by introducing innovative seed-applied technologies. In keeping with this tradition of excellence, INCOTEC now offers Arcus ST custom blended with DISCO film coat liquids for any crop.
Arcus ST is a unique plant growth regulator (PGR) product designed to increase the efficiency of basic plant physiological processes, allowing the plant to optimize its genetic potential, in both ideal and stressful environments, which often leads to higher crop yields. A naturally derived seed treatment product registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Arcus ST is a broad-spectrum PGR that provides a variety of benefits to any crop including increased germination and improved seedling development especially in stressful soil environments, resulting in stronger root establishment, greater biomass and higher chlorophyll density. Applying Arcus ST as a seed treatment increases the efficiency of physiological processes, enhancing crop growth right from the start, which is essential to improved plant health and productivity.
Arcus ST can be applied to the seed in combination with DISCO film coat liquids and with most seed treatment packages. Arcus ST is highly compatible and readily mixes with biostimulants, fertilizers, polymers, fungicides, insecticides and inoculants. FBSciences Arcus ST is the first product available commercially with the patented active ingredient Complex Polymeric Polyhydroxy Acids.
Get the most out of your seed with the consistent performance of Arcus ST and DISCO liquid formulations for any crop.
