BSN Seed Primer provides a new tier of crop establishment that is easy to apply with usual seed treatment, has 5-10x return on investment (that's hundreds of percent not 5-10%!), and allows strong seedling growth the instant the plant germinates, irrespective of soil type or soil variability. Each seed contains enough nutrients INSIDE the actual seed for the first few crucial weeks of seedling establishment. One x 20L BSN can produce another 6MT of wheat (at 5% additional yield). Usage rates are typically 5 litres per tonne of seed, depends on seed type and size (see label in downloads below).

BSN removes the variability of nutrients in the individual seeds themselves, for more consistent seedling growth across the paddock.

BSN removes the variability of nutrients in the individual seeds themselves, for more consistent seedling growth across the paddock.
BSN contains "SDS", RLF's proprietary Seed Delivery System of chemistry to allow nutrient transfer to inside the seed in seconds during treatment - where nutrients are locked in, permanently, without affecting germination rate. BSN is compatible with Seed Treatment pesticides and Fluency agents.
BSN Seed Primer application provides:
- A one step process at seed treatment time, that is compatible with the usual seed treatment process.
- Earlier germination - typically several days earlier than un-BSN-treated seed.
- Additional root growth, with often an extra primary root, extra "feeder" roots (eg shown in NZ Maize), greater fine root bulk amount.
- A method of better establishment and durability for pasture, and considerable gains in pasture quality and growth when teamed with "Pasture Plus"
- The more active BSN-treated plant has greater root activity, particularly root exudate production, which encourages greater microbial activity in the rhizosphere and nutrient cycling and uptake into the plant (See link below for explanation).
- This significant greater root activity provides more efficient and effective uptake of granular fertiliser, allowing for potential application reductions.
- A higher "Yield Potential Set" - due to stronger seedling establishment, a more vigorous BSN treated plant can provide greater yield potential.
- This Potential can be most fully realised with applications of RLF foliar fertilisers strategically applied.
Element NZ has been in technical discussions with Bayer NZ and most seed treatment companies in 2014 , preparing for the February 2015 BSN Seed Primer launch. We have provided seed treatment companies with information on BSN, and will be offering them BSN stock to treat your seed, or farmers can buy directly from www.elementrm.co.nz If you local seed company or rural supplier doesn't have BSN Seed Primer stock, please ask them to contact us, and we can arrange wholesale supply and local stock for your requirements.
The Integrated Fertiliser Management is a more efficient system to allow higher uptake of nutrients into plants. RLF suggest:
3% of usual fertiliser cost = BSN seed treatment at 95-100% efficiency.
17% of usual fertiliser cost is high efficiency foliars (Such as Plasma Fusion) at key stages of yield set potential. Typical 80-90% efficiency of entry into plant.
This allows a 20% reduction in traditional solid fertiliser application, and higher yield potential. Typical solid fert. (eg Amm Sulphate 15-30% uptake efficiency).
