Grafting the seed is a way to avoid nematodes

Brazilian company Wolf Sementes launched its Grafitek technology at Coopercitrus 2023 with the aim of improving planting performance and protecting crops against nematodes. This technology will be of great help to soybean or corn producers, or those who choose direct seeding, or farmers who have invested in straw production with the graphite seeds of the forage plant Brachiaria ruziziensis. Up to US$300 per hectare can be saved due to reduced inputs and soil management when using Brachiaria ruziziensis seeds for straw production. In direct seeding, soil with straw produces 30% more than a conventional system that does not use straw. In seed treatment with graphite, only 100% natural materials are used without the use of polymers. Graphitizing the seed is a guarantee that it is free from nematodes.
