b'BASF: SustaiN2able Seed TreatmentsPresented by: Richard Piran CargeegBASFDescription: Hear how seed-applied rhizobial inoculants produce an estimated 60-70 million metrics tons of Nitrogen annually. Why it Matters to the Seed Industry: The nitrogen production has large impacts on soybeans plants, subsequent crops and feeding the growing population.KSi: Equipment Flexibility for Downstream Seed Treatment ApplicationPresented by: Jason KaebKSi Conveyors Inc.Description: Introduction of the KSi 02PRO and 03PRO SC Applicator, a breakthrough professional level equipment option in the downstream seed treatment application market. Why it matters to the seed industry: Maintaining efficiency and sustainability can be an ongoing challenge in the downstream seed treatment application market, especially with the introduction of new seed treatments and the demands of just-in-time treatment application. Enter the KSi SC Applicator: a flexible, innovative, professional-level unit that handles seed gently, provides accurate treatment application, and cleans out completely . all at an affordable price point. The SC Applicator has quickly become a popular fit as a primary treating unit, or even a secondary unit for applying new biologicals, running short trials, and/or treating a variety of differing seed types and characteristics, while still maintaining the best practices and stewardship expectations of professional treating systems.Corteva Agriscience: Focusing on Multiple and Diverse Modes of Action for a Sustainable FuturePresented by: David Borgmeier, SAT US Category LeaderDescription: Sustainability takes many forms, including preserving the longevity of effective tools to protect crops. In Cortevas Seed Applied Technology lineup, we are bringing multiple modes of action for insect and disease management. This includes new chemistries as well as biologicals as the future for adding additional modes of action.Why it Matters to the Seed Industry: This presentation will highlight several examples of new modes of action available for seed treatments. ABM / Agrauxine by Lesaffre: BiologicalsNatural Sustainability for Managing Abiotic Stress and Nutrient AvailabilityPresented by: Vince Wertman, Advanced Biological Marketing (ABM) / Agrauxine USDescription: Microbials truly are a natural solution for sustainability. Abiotic stresses such as heat and drought are a leading cause of crop loss in crops like corn and soybeans. What growers are really looking for is consistency. They want a product they can use that is going to get results year after year and they dont have to worry about if its going to be a dry year. Why it Matters to the Seed Industry: Biological products help to level out that playing field when it comes to dealing with those stressors. In addition, nutrient availability is important to the grower from an economic and environmental standpoint.Universal Coating Systems: The Global Seed Industry and Sustainability: Definitions, Goal Adjustments and Up and Coming Innovations in Seed Treatment and CoatingPresented by: Eric Waldo, Universal Coating Systems, LLCDescription: Every industry in the world is asking itself: What is the real and applicable definition of sustainability?, What are the real and useful goals we should be reaching to achieve?, and What tools or resources are available or coming down the pipeline to help us achieve the goals we choose? The seed treatment/coating industry is no exception. We will ask and answer these questions. Topics will include:1.Time is money management (strategies to build powerful tools to help farmers maximize the effectiveness of the timing of their crop planting and germination program).2.Seed viability and germination enhancement strategies and tools, especially in low-resource or adverse environment scenarios.3. Non-microplastic polymers for seed treatment and coating.4. Carbon management (how can the seed industry make a difference?).5.Soil health management (beneficial microbe addition or promotionbeyond traditional inoculants, pathological microbe demotion, water holding capacity, COcapture, etc.).2DECEMBER 2021SEEDWORLD.COM /75'
