JumpStart is available as a wettable powder that is mixed into water and applied to the seed as a liquid.
Once JumpStart is mixed into the water, apply to the seed within 24 hours.
Water volume rates vary according to the type of seed treated. These water volumes can be adjusted according
to your application methods, as long as the correct amount of JumpStart is applied to the seed. Please
see Table 2 for approximate water volume rates.
When tank mixing a seed treatment with JumpStart, the total liquid volume should equal the water volume
listed in the table. Example: if you are using JumpStart on wheat, the total water volume required
is 50 litres. If you are tank mixing with a seed treatment with an application rate of 25 litres per
300 bushels of wheat, then you only need to add another 25 litres of water for a total liquid volume
of 50 litres per every 300 bushels of wheat treated.
Apply the JumpStart suspension to seed when transferring seed from the bin or bag to the truck, or from
the truck to the tank or seed cart. Applicators used previously for pesticides should be triple rinsed
before being used for JumpStart application. To improve coverage on small-seeded crops like canola,
mustard, alfalfa and sweetclover, we recommend using a batch-treating system or purchasing pre-treated
seed where available.
JumpStart can be applied up to 60 days prior to seeding (depending on seed type) and can be used with
many different seed treatments.
