Insecticidal Seed Treatments
No seed treatment was used on 14% of acres of
Minnesota respondents answering the question.
Lindane seed treatment was used on 13% of respondents' acres, Lorsban on 17% and
"unknown"
was used on 20% (Table 22). The "unknown" is significant because growers might
know that the seed
was treated but not remember what was stated on the seed tag.
