Short excerpt from a YouTube video by John Kempf describing a seed-treatment setup: a Umberfirth seed runner with a talc doser loaded with Bioko Gold, calibrated for 12.5 pounds per second seed flow, plus a running fertigator and an application hose spraying seed-flare onto seed exiting the conveyor; treated seed appears slightly wet initially and then dries.

Okay, so I got a Umberfirth seed runner that has a talc doser that I put Bioko Gold in and calibrated to the correct rate, given 12.5 pounds per second of seed that I'm moving. Also got a fertigator that's running. I've got calibrated to dose the right amount of seed flare. Got a hose coming all the way back here, and it's spraying onto the seed as it comes out the shoe of the conveyor. What it looks like coming out, you can tell it's just a little bit wet, but it sits a little while and it dries out.
