Henry Field Seed & Nurser 
Better stands of Alfalfa, Clover, Ken- 
tucky Blue Grass and other small seeded 
legumes have been obtained by treating 
the seed with Arasan seed disinfectant 
before planting in tests at the DuPont 
Laboratory and at several state experl- 
ment stations. 
Summary of 1951-52 field tests by 
DuPont showed increased stands after 
treatment with Arasan as follows: Al- 
falfa 32%: Red Clover 57%: Lespedeza 
59%: Sudan 41%; misc. grasses 25%. 
Frequently the cause of poor stands 
in pastures is an obscure and seldom 
recognized disease. It is really a phase 
of root rot, which causes pre-emergence 
blight. Seedlings that survive that dis- 
ease often show only a little evidence 
of it. However, by digging into the soil 
or examining the old vegetation, it often 
will be found that, although the seed 
did germinate, the roots and the tops.of 
the seedlings were killed before the

Smali Seeds 
Carry Little 
Food Reserve 
The seeds of 
grass and small 
legumes, being 
very small in size, 
carry little food 
reserve to see 
them through the 
period from ger- j 
mination until the seedlings become es- 
tablished. For this reason, they can be 
killed off easily by adverse weather con- 
‘ditions and disease. Anything that helps 
the seedling get past this stage, where 
seed mortality is so high, is important. 
The purpose of treating the seed is 
to protect it from the growth of fungi 
on the seed and in the soil which cause 
seed decay, damping-off, seedling blight 
and root rots. = 
> Arasan does not take the place of 
Nitragin Inoculant. Add Nitragin after 
treating with Arasan—not before or at 
the same time. i 
We recommend that you treat certain 
seeds, the ones listed in the box at left, 
with Arasan. It is very easy to treat 
your own seed yourself at time of plant- 
ing. Just follow directions on the can.
