Description of Innovation:

• Next-level accuracy technology available today

• Slurry-building “wizard” provides more accurate slurry mix before application

• Liquid source/pump parameters allow flexibility to tweak equipment performance to fine-tune real-time application accuracy

• Seed treatment recipe validation (through the cloud) ensures application according to the manufacturer’s label and eliminates costly errors in applying wrong recipe and/or from incorrect seed treatment sources

• Data management and reporting tools record accuracy, track inventory, and alert operator to any problems

Why it Matters to the Seed Industry:

• Stewardship and transparency:

o More accurate application promotes better stewardship within the downstream market

o Record-keeping tools verify application accuracy/inaccuracy for more operator accountability

o Visibility into which chemicals were applied to which seed variety and how accurately they were applied by the system gives visibility into the system and transparency to seed sellers, growers and corporate stakeholders
