Disease Abbreviations
Many variety descriptions and product information notes the disease abbreviations instead of listing out the entire scientific name. View the abbreviation table at this website in order to identify which diseases a specific variety is resistant to.

Nutrient Deficiency Table
While genetics are a key factor into the success of crops, nutrients and micronutrients also play a key roll. The proper amount of these nutrients ensure that farmers obtain optimal yields. Fortunately, there are indicators that can help growers identify which micronutrients may be missing from their fields. Find out more regarding these indicators by viewing the PanDia Micronutrient Deficiency Table.

Seed Storage
Seed storage is critical to the success of any seed company. Storage conditions can drastically effect the ability of seed to maintain its germination and vigor. Thus, PanDia Seeds highly encourages its distributors and growers to follow Harrington's Rule of Thumb for optimal seed storage.

Seed Type Information
Each seed type has specific details that relate only to that seed type. These include items such as seedcount, tariff numbers, and scientific names. View type specific information here. 

Growing Costs
According to a recent study from Brazil, the cost of seed compared to the total cost of a production is minuscule compared to the benefits of optimal genetics. At just 4% of the total cost of production, selecting the optimal seed is perhaps the most important decision that a farmer will make all season. By deciding to plant a variety that has been specifically developed and selected for that market, the grower will receive benefits that could include increased disease tolerance, higher performance, and ultimately, optimal yields. For example, by spending just 4% instead of 2% or 3% on a variety, growers can save 25% or more on defensive spraying, labor, and other costs. Thus, PanDia recommends trialing suitable new varieties for your growing region to ensure you are sowing the best variety for your specific needs.
