Active PRIME™ DRY
Powdered planter-box micronutrients to support seed germination and root growth.

Powdered planter-box micronutrients to support seed germination and root growth.
Active PRIME™ DRY is a powdered micronutrient formulation applied directly to seed in the planter box, seed box, or seed tender at planting. It places chelated micronutrients in the seed zone, where they are available to the seedling early, and it needs no liquid treater or extra equipment.
At planting, on corn, canola, and soybean seed.
Active PRIME DRY is applied to seed as a dry powder at planting. Its chelated micronutrients (boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc) sit right at the seed zone. This helps early nutrient availability, supports germination and root growth, and helps seedlings get off to a more uniform start. The graphite-based formula keeps seed flowing smoothly through the planter.
