Early‑season performance sets the foundation for the entire growing season. While planter efficiency plays a critical role in stand establishment, seeds face biological and environmental challenges immediately after planting — long before roots can access nutrients or defend against stress.

This course examines how Abivium, a nutritional seed lubricant from CHS, delivers value beyond traditional talc and graphite. Participants will learn how Abivium’s three‑component system — talc and graphite for planter efficiency, a balanced micronutrient package, and biostimulants — supports both mechanical performance at planting and agronomic performance in the soil. The course connects planter mechanics with early plant physiology, emphasizing why emergence, vigor, and stress tolerance matter in today’s tight planting windows.
