The addition of micronutrients in the fodder seed treatment process, developed by Nova S.A., is based on two main pillars:

Germination:

Molybdenum and cobalt act as germination triggers, subsequently achieving emergence in advance and a bigger plants stand. This tendency confirms the effectiveness of strategic application of low doses of micronutrients on seeds.

Molybdenum promotes the formation of enzymes that are involved in the transformation of atmospheric nitrogen into mineral nitrogen. As regards cobalt, it is involved in leghemoglobin synthesis, becoming a cofactor of this enzyme.

Biological Fixation: 

Consequently, these micronutrients stimulate nitrogen biological fixation, promoting the production of green matter per hectare.
