On a good germinating tobacco seedlot. A marker technology was applied in the pelleting material. With this marker it will be possible to detect the origin of the pellets and seeds under field conditions. To check the long term impact 3 different dose rates of the marker will be applied in the pelleting material. The 3 different dose rates are applied to investigate the timeframe you still can detect a reading under field conditions. Second goal is to check if there is not negative impact on the germination percentage and amount of vital plants under field conditions. Lab results will be compared with field results. Similar trials in the vegetable sector have proven traceability through the nursery period. For tobacco traceability under nursery and field conditions might be needed. Each dose rate has 3 repetitions and will be tested 5 times during the growing cycle. The last one will be just prior to harvest. The marker applied in the material is electromagnetic and has no environmental negative impact. It is non systemic non toxic. With a simple hand held device you can detect in the nursery and in the field the origin of the seeds, encrustings and pellets. The goal of this marker technology is to improve the traceability of the origin of the seeds and pellets during the growing season, without time consuming and expensive lab test.
