🎯 Target Seed Use
Stix Ag is aimed at the large volume agricultural sector. It can be used for filmcoating, and when suitably diluted, can also be used for encrusting and pelleting or as a final coating.
📦 Storage and Packing
Store in a clean, dry area at ambient temperature above 41° F and
below 86° F (5°C - 30°C).
Material should be stored in original containers and kept closed when not in use. Shelf life of the product kept under these conditions is expected to be 6 - 12 months.
Stix Ag should be stirred before use as some settling may occur during transport and storage. Once a mix has been prepared it should be used on the same day.
🎛️ Application Guide
Seedworx Stix Ag can be used in combination with Seedworx Finishing Powder, where over-wetting can occur or where a shiny finish is desired. Stix Ag can also be used with the range of Seedworx Colors (Red, Green, Blue, Violet).
If product has sat for more than 4 hours, mix for 30 minutes using the appropriate equipment prior to treating. For product sitting less than 4 hours, stir for 15 minutes prior to usage.
For most applications Seedworx Stix Ag should be diluted with water before use.
Typical slurry application rates are shown in the table below.
