BASF recently announced that Gestus, a kind of seed treatment agent for peanuts, is on the market in Argentina.
There are many factors affecting peanut cultivation. In order to minimize the impact of adverse factors on peanut cultivation and production, BASF introduced this product. This product can effectively prevent peanut epidermis from falling off during planting. For growers, it is necessary to improve the adherence of seed epidermis to seeds by using this kind of polymer products.
