PRECISION™ MULTI‑PELLETS (PMPL) The first-ever professional-quality multi-species and single- species Precision Multi-Pellets are specially formulated to include a precise number of seeds that deliver a balanced mix of two or three varieties. Each seed is pelleted first, then combined with others into a larger pellet. Trialed and tested in the lab and in the greenhouse, they germinate and grow compatibly. All components are present at least 90% of the time. • SimplyHerbs™, p. 240
PRIMED Primed seed has had the germination process started, but it is stopped before the root protrudes through the seed coat; the seed is then dried down. Primed seed has more uniform growth and will germinate under a wide range of conditions.
MULTI-SEED PELLETS (MPL) AND MULTI-SPECIES MULTI-PELLET The seed undergoes a similar process to pelleted but combines multiple seeds in one pellet, essentially providing a pre-formed mixed container in a pellet. • SimplySalad ® , p. 247
TREATED SEED (TR) Uses Thiram for general seedling disease control and Allegiance for protection against multiple seedborne and soilborne fungi. Seed is sealed; there is no change in shape/size and no dust or rub-off.
DE-TAILED The “tail” on a seed can interfere with an automatic seed-sowing machine. By removing the tail, the seed has a smoother shape
RAW This is seed in its natural form, with no enhancements.
that is easier to handle. • Marigolds, p. 75, 219
COATED SEED (CT) Seed is enhanced through a proprietary process in which a “film coating” or “slick coating” is applied to allow easier handling by the grower and ensures better flow through seeders.
AMPLIFIED SEED (AMP) The seed of certain crops needs a little boost for better germination, so this form enhances it through a proprietary process, resulting in faster and more uniform germination compared to non-enhanced seed.
HIGH ENERGY SEED (HE) Refined seed delivers improved germination and uniformity. GENESIS ® SEED (GS) Primed seed germinates under a wider range of temperatures and delivers better uniformity.
BALL VIGOR INDEX ® SEED Our patented plug-testing method determines the vigor and uniformity of seed lots by analyzing physical characteristics and responses of seedlings grown in a plug tray. The higher the rating, the better the quality. You can be assured of great performance from every packet of seed that displays the Ball Vigor Index rating.
TREATED NON-CHEMICAL Seed has been disinfected without the use of fungicides, reducing the seedling pathogens on the seed. • Salvia, p. 123, 184
CERTIFIED ORGANIC SEED Our organic seed is not treated with any chemicals. Visit ballseed.com for a complete product listing.
