PROTINUS™ Seed Nutrition Product
A unique seed application product
specifically formulated to promote
early plant nutrition and health in
field crops
Because a healthy start can
make a world of difference.
• PROTINUS is a unique (patent-pending) and beneficial product for seed companies, professional seed treaters and conditioners who wish to ensure seed gets off to an optimum and healthy start.
• Benefits of early nutrition and better plant health can include greater root mass, longer roots and better vigor, all helping the seed reach its true potential.

Innovative. PROTINUS promotes early plant health and growth in two distinct ways: Formulants in PROTINUS create a microenvironment around each individual seed that is pH balanced so that nutrients can be more easily absorbed. At the same time it delivers three key micro-elements that are vital for early plant growth.
Optimal pH. PROTINUS helps to lower the pH in the zone immediately around the seed. Important nutrients are more easily absorbed at lower pH's.
This agar plate shows the effect of PROTINUS on corn (treated corn seed shown on the right) in the microzone around the seed. The yellow zone surrounding the seeds on the right indicates that pH has been lowered to between 4.5 and 5. Untreated seed on left indicates no change in pH in the purple agar plate.
Nutrition Delivered Right to The Seed. PROTINUS also delivers three key micro-elements (Zinc, Manganese and Iron) that are vital for early plant growth. Early nutrition can lead to increased early root mass, better vigor and earlier emergence.
Early nutrition can cause dramatic differences in root mass. Here, a PROTINUS-treated corn plant on the left demonstrates enhanced root mass, relative to the untreated plant beside it. Enhanced root mass will help a crop compete for moisture and nutrients, and may aid in lodging resistance later in the season.
Safe on Seed. Germination and vigor tests show no adverse effect from application of PROTINUS. Long-term storage and seed safety trials are ongoing. PROTINUS is the result of years of testing to determine the optimal ratios and rates of formulants, and has been tested on major field crops.
Easy to Apply. Wolf Trax PROTINUS is designed to be applied as a "tacky" application after other liquid seed treatments, meaning no additional water is required for seed application.
