Before using this treatment, we experienced 30% to 90% crop losses on a regular basis, but now our seedbed densities are consistently at target and the resulting seedlings are larger. Specialized equipment facilitates the task and paid for itself through increased crop revenues in just 1 y.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
