Giving Plants a Strong Start
Inside each seed sits the promise of a strong, healthy plant that will one day be harvested. From the moment a seed is planted, it’s challenged by diseases, pests and an unpredictable environment, all of which can keep it from reaching its full potential. New innovation in Seed Applied Technologies from Corteva help seed get off to a strong start, for a growing and sustainable future.

Protecting Seed Potential
Seed treatments help protect and bolster seeds and seedlings to help ensure they have a strong start at becoming healthy plants. Seed treatments enable better and faster emergence and stronger, more uniform stands of plants. This helps set the stage for farmers to harvest more and also helps farmers maximize their investment in one of the most valuable inputs of their season, the seed they plant.
Supporting Sustainable Practices
Because seed treatments involve precise application of fungicides, insecticides, nematicides and biologicals directly to the seed, they can help reduce early season exposure of products to the soil surface and to non-target organisms like beneficial insects. They also complement integrated pest management (IPM) practices and other sustainable management practices such as cover cropping, no-till, reduced-till and early planting. With Seed Applied Technologies from Corteva, farmers can get crops off to a strong start and keep their farm productive year after year.
Innovation and Stewardship
Corteva Seed Applied Technologies builds on our company’s 100+ year history of developing crop protection products. Like all of our products, Corteva seed treatments must meet rigorous standards for safety and efficacy. By enabling a highly targeted approach to protecting crops in their earliest growth stages, seed treatments from Corteva help increase the lifespan of other important agriculture technologies such as products that are applied by spray and even seed traits.
What Makes Seed Applied Technologies Unique
Proven Performance and Benefits
A More Focused Footprint
Corteva seed treatment products provide targeted protection against pests and diseases. Depending on the ingredients in a seed treatment mixture, plants could be protected for several weeks after planting. This can reduce the need for farmers to do an additional pass in their fields to apply crop protection products during the early stages of crop growth. Fewer trips through the field means less soil compaction, lower use of fuel and reduction of greenhouse gases. The targeted nature of seed treatments also helps limit exposure to beneficial organisms that keep farms healthy, like pollinators. Seed treatments can help farmers use fewer resources, while raising even more and better crops.
