The Dupont Semesan Seed SisinfectantB 



SEIOESAIT — Du Pont Semesan is the only disinfectant which can be ap- 

 plied in either the liquid or convenient duBt forms to prevent or control 

 effectively a most diversified variety of parasitic diseases and fungoid 

 growths borne by seeds, bulbs and other types of seed pieces, plants 

 and grafts, as well as many of those which infest the soils. It is Just 

 as effective for flower and nursery seeds or plants as for cleansing the 

 diseases from field, forage, grain and vegetable seeds. Semesan is harm- 

 less to seed and plant life but thoroughly sterilizes practically all kinds 

 of seed pieces against the disease germs or fungous spores that adhere 

 to the seed coats, as well as many of those that exist internally. Un- 

 handicapped by diseases, Semesan-treated seeds are thus stimulated to 

 vigorous sprouting during the critical period of their early growth and 

 consequently bear larger and finer crops than can untreated seeds. Seme- 

 san completely eradicates and controls the various "damping-off" diseases. 



SEMESAN JR. — This disinfectant is a modified form of the par- 

 ent substance, Semesan, and is exclusively a dust disinfectant for 

 preventing and controlling the ear, root and stalk rots of field and 

 sweet corn. Semesan Jr., is easily applied to seed corn by the 

 common dusting method at the rate of 2 to 3 ounces per bushel of 

 seeds, and by effective control of the common corn diseases it 

 not only increases both the speed and percentage of germination 

 but also stimulates both the root and foliage development of the 

 seedling, thereby producing healthy and sturdy plants that ma- 

 ture earlier and bear heavier yields of unblemished crop. In- 

 cluding Government-conducted and commercial tests throughout 

 the United States, Semesan Jr., invariably produces increased yields 

 from even average quality seeds that range from 20 to over 50% 

 'above the untreated check plots. 



Semesan Jr., Increases Seed Com Germination 



The Semesan Jr.-treated corn seeds in the right- 

 h.nnd dish germinated 100%, while only 85% of the 

 untreated in the left sprouted and of the latter three- 

 quarters later died from diseases. 



SEMESAN BEIi — This disinfectant for both white and sweet po- 

 tatoes, as well as other similar roots and tubers of flowers and vege- 

 tables, is unquestionably the most easily applied and most effective 

 antiseptic ever devised for the purpose, and is fast displacing formal- 

 dehyde, mercuric bichloride (corrosive sublimate and sulfur. In 

 addition to controlling the common potato diseaes,, such as scab, 

 rhizoctonia, black rot, scurf, black leg, etc., Semesan Bel actually 

 preserves the seed pieces against soil-borne organisms, promotes 

 earlier and more profuse sprouting, and increases yields by 10 to 20% 

 or more.
