Converted Organics Fertilizers Being Tested on Grain Seed Treatment in Idaho and Washington

Converted Organics COIN announced today that field trials testing a potential new application of its organic liquid fertilizers will be on display at The McGregor Company's Seed Treatment Product Development Field Day on June 15, 2011 at the Miller Research facility in Rupert, ID. The field trials will highlight the latest seed treatment products from BASF, Bayer, Chemtura, Syngenta, Valent and other companies on wheat, barley, beans and other crops important to Idaho agriculture. In the test, Converted Organics liquid fertilizers are being applied directly to grain seed concurrently with fungicides to determine if this application will increase seed germination and seedling establishment. The McGregor Company's seed is widely used on approximately one million acres of grain in Eastern Washington and Idaho.
