Accu-treat D.C. wheel-metered treater ......ANSWER........-
Revolution of a seed wheel and pesticide metering pod to
accurately meter seed and pesticide
-Each disc chamber is filled with pesticide by a pump form a
premix tank and is then discharged into the mixing chamber
Equipment Calibration ......ANSWER........-Ensure seed treatment
equipment is delivering the correct amount of pesticide and
applying it uniformly over the correct amount seed
-Accurate matching of the seed and pesticide flow rates
,age 2 of 49
Calibrating a metered slurry treater ......ANSWER........-Labeled
rate of the seed treatment pesticide
Seed Treatment ......ANSWER........Chemical or biological
substances that are applied to seeds or vegetative propagation
materials to control disease organisms; control insects; and other
pests.
Seed Treatment Pesticides ......ANSWER........Bactericides,
fungicides, insecticides, growth regulators, and herbicide
antidotes
Reasons for seed treatment ......ANSWER........seed production,
low test weight, bad germ, stand issues, precise populations,
seeds expensive, high yield potential, seed is thought to carry
seedborne pathogens
,age 3 of 49
NON seed treatments ......ANSWER........Seed-applied nutrients
that do not perform a pest control function.
Grain Treatments ......ANSWER........Pesticides intended to protect
stored food or feed grain
Seed Treatment Benefits ......ANSWER........Control pests;
Precision targeting; Low Dose; Convenient to use
Seed Treatment Risks ......ANSWER........Accidental poisoning;
cropping restrictions; limited dose capacity; limited duration of
protection; limited shelf life of treated seed; Phytotoxicity
(Pesticide injury); workers exposure
Integrated Pest Management ......ANSWER........An agricultural
practice that uses a variety of techniques designed to minimize
pesticide inputs
, age 4 of 49
Seedborne Pathogens ......ANSWER........On the surface of the
seed; hidden in the cracks or crevices; infections deep inside the
intact seed
Systemic ......ANSWER........(non-contact) Protect aboveground
parts from sucking insects such as: aphids and foliar disease rust;
root rot
Non-systemic ......ANSWER........(contact) Form a chemical barrier
over the surface of the seed; protects from chewing insects such
as: wireworms and soilborne pathogens such as Pythium
10-14 days ......ANSWER........Seeds treatments only last this
many days beyond planting
Stress ......ANSWER........Heavy rains, crusted soils, compaction,
deep planting, cool oil, very dry soils, post-emergence
herbicides
