Seed treatment urged for sorghum and corn in 1972
Kansas State University extension specialists warn seed untreated with insecticides risks low germination and poor stands, especially sorghum in cool soils. If tags omit aldrin dieldrin lindane or heptachlor, farmers should treat seed themselves using labeled wettable powders, while some storage-only treatments offer no field protection. The note comes as seed and cattle events at Fort Hays announce the 70th Roundup on April 28 with about 500 cattle on display and discussions on feeding and substitutions.
