SCIENTIFIC NAME: Beta vulgaris PELLETED SEED: Smooth and consistently sized pelleted seeds can help reduce jamming in mechanical planters that can be caused by irregularly-shaped beet seeds. Our beet pellets are made of inert, NOP-compliant materials and are size 18.0; suitable for use with the Stanhay seeders (belt size 18.0) or many of the precision seeders offered by Johnny's. NOTE: These larger pellets may be too heavy for air or vacuum planters. Pelleted seed requires a little extra attention when it comes to watering, as it performs best with consistent, moderate soil moisture throughout the germination period. An initial watering will split or dissolve the pellet, but if the soil dries out before the germination period is over, the seed may receive insufficient moisture for optimal germination. PELLET STORAGE: Pelleting offers many advantages, but the pelleting process also shortens the shelf life of the seed. We recommend using pelleted seed within one year of purchase. If you need to store pelleted seeds until planting, protect them from heat and humidity in a cool, dark, dry place. If you prefer to store your seed in the refrigerator, be sure to place the seed in an air-tight container to protect it from fluctuations in humidity.
