Seed treatments in wheat locations
Aims

To determine the most effective seed treatment in wheat and evaluate any benefits from using imidacloprid on wheat.

Key messages
  • The trial had to be seeded a little deeper than we anticipated in order to chase moisture.
  • There was no significant differences to come out of this trial as shown by LSD (least significant difference).
  • This trial, like many other seed treatment trials, has provided not real differences between treatments.
