Jan 23, 2025

Abivium goes beyond the typical talc powder. It delivers full nutrient and biostimulant packages to help crops get a healthy start and fend off potential stressors.

Abivium is a nutritional seed treatment that improves germination, crop emergence, seedling vigor and plant tolerance under abiotic stress, leading to higher yields. With a full nutrient package to establish a strong start and biostimulants to mitigate abiotic stress, Abivium helps crops push through environmental variability to maximize yield potential. A blend of talc + graphite enables excellent seed lubricity and placement through nearly every planter delivery system. Abivium is certified for organic use.

Three key components

  1. Talc + Graphite for efficiency at planting
  2. Micronutrients to support seedling emergence and a robust start
  3. Biostimulants + metabolites to set up crops up for season-long success

Early season advantages

  • Dry powder formulation for easy on-farm application in the planter box
  • High antioxidant activity
  • Provides essential nutrients for improved plant growth, development, and vigor
  • Increased prominence of fine root hairs
  • Supports seedlings by protecting plant cell function during harsh environmental conditions

Protection for abiotic stressors

  • Cold
  • Heat
  • Drought
  • Excess moisture
  • UV radiation
