 Home: > What We Sell: > Seed Treatments Seed treatments are an effective way of protecting your investment in new pastures. Seed treatments products can include insecticides, fungicides and biological additives (in combination or singularly), designed to help maximise plant establishment. The placement of pesticides in close proximity to the seed means seed treatment is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Specialty Seeds have included the information below to help you make an informed decision on your best option for your Grass Seed Treatment. Please click on the type of seed below that you are requiring Seed Treatment information on:
   Poncho Seed Treatment: Poncho® seed treatment protects your precious grass or brassica seed from attack by the two most important pests of establishing pasture, Argentine Stem Weevil and Grass Grub, right from the time of sowing. Because of Poncho’s broader spectrum it supersedes Gaucho as the preferred seed treatment for the protection of pasture. Poncho® treated seed gets out of the ground faster, maximising plant establishment thus reducing weed ingress and ensuring maximum early season dry matter production. Poncho Treated Seed, has a withholding period of 42 days where conventionally sown. When stitching into existing pasture a withholding period of 21 days applies. Gaucho Seed Treatment: Specialty Seeds are approved applicators of Gaucho seed treatment. Gaucho is a systemic seed treatment used for the protection of establishing pasture & brassica seedlings. Gaucho gives protection from grass grub in a Pasture situation, protection from springtails, wheat bug and aphids in a brassica situation. Gaucho has a excellent environmental profile with no harmful effects on the seed and has no smell traditionally associated with granular products typically used for the same job. Specialty Seeds recommends the use of Gaucho and to ensure no delay in your seed order all Gaucho Seed treating is done on site.. Gaucho Treated Seed, has a withholding period of 42 days where conventionally sown. When stitching into existing pasture a withholding period of 21 days applies.
