Channel brand expands seed offerings for 2025

A Channel technical agronomist says the brand is offering an extended lineup of soybean seed treatments in 2025.

Richard Turner says several products performed well in 2024.

“A new 109 day that we had this year in plots in 2024,” he says. “Also had a new 117 day. Both of those products have new seed treatments on them.”

He says the new Channel Edge seed treatment is designed to mitigate disease and pests.

“In those acres, we have hard to fight nematodes,” he says. “This will give us an option to fight those nematodes before we even go into soybeans. Hopefully that helps us agronomically a little bit. By placing these products on some of these high nematode fields, we can drive those numbers down before we get into that soybean rotation.”

Turner says Channel Edge will be available starting in 2025 and encourages farmers to work with their local agronomist to find the best fit for their acres.
