Adel, IA (February 13, 2025)— For soybean growers, success starts with preparation. However, every planting season brings its own set of challenges, from early pests to unpredictable weather. That’s why carefully selected seed treatments are imperative to giving farmers a strong start — and better returns at harvest.

While every seed holds the promise of a high-yielding crop, factors like soilborne diseases and environmental stress can threaten its potential before it even emerges. With Stine® XP seed treatments, soybean growers can safeguard against those risks to ensure strong, healthy stands that result in higher yields.

“Seed treatments act as an insurance policy for your crop, helping to mitigate risks and maximize returns,” says Tom Larson, director of agronomy for Stine. He notes that Stine’s approach to seed treatment is built on research-backed solutions — such as integrating premium fungicides, insecticides and biological enhancements — to help farmers reduce early-season loss.

Stine’s focus has always been on delivering real-world solutions that provide measurable benefits. By offering proven seed treatments alongside industry-leading genetics, we give farmers the tools they need to start strong and finish stronger.

“At Stine, we understand the time, effort and expense involved in farming,” Larson says. “That’s why our seed treatments are designed to enhance seed performance, reduce risks and ensure growers achieve the best possible results from their premium soybean genetics.”

Stine XP seed treatments come in three custom-blend formulations — Stine XP Complete 2.0, Stine XP-F&I and Stine XP-F. For more information on each blend and how they can provide added value to growers’ fields in 2025, connect with a local Stine sales representative.
