Super-Wrapped Q & A's:

• Why Super-Wrapped® TifBlair®?

Patten Seed Company's Super-Wrapped TifBlair® seed allows the user to distribute the seed more evenly and accurately. The Super-Wrap allows more healthy seeds to germinate and when they do we have included nutrients and root stimulants to encourage the best growth. The fungicide in the SuperWrap protects the young plants from seedling diseases.

• Does the seed wrap help the seed absorb moisture?

Yes – absorbed water is held near the seed.

• Does the wrap help the seed germinate faster and cause more seeds to germinate and/or persist as healthy plants?

Though germination time is usually the same you may notice emerged seedlings earlier because of better placement and protection from disease a higher percentage of seed will germinate and grow. Super-Wrapping 'makes every seed count'.

• Does the wrap contain nutrients?

Yes – the wrap will contain a nutrient source that will be readily available to the emerging seedling roots.

• Does the wrap decrease the need for a fertilized planting area?

No. The seed wrapped nutrients will only be available to the seedling in its very early stages; it does not replace the need for a good starter fertilizer.

• Does the wrap make planting easier or better?

Yes to both. Planting will be easier because there will be no need to bulk up seed with sand. Because wrapped seed are heavier and denser they are thrown farther and more uniformly producing a more uniform cover.
