IMPORTANT !
Great Plains “Ezee Glide” talc is 100% natural talc.
Use only Great Plains “Ezee Glide” brand talc for opti-
mum seed flow.
IMPORTANT !
“Ezee Glide” Talc lubricant is mandatory for all seeds,
especially treated or inoculated seed.
Recommended usage:
For clean seeds, sprinkle (1) one cup of talc per 9 bush-
els of seed. Adjust this rate as necessary so all seeds
become coated while avoiding an accumulation of talc in
the bottom of the hopper.
For seed with excessive treatment, or for humid planting
environments, increase the rate as needed for smooth
meter operation.
IMPORTANT !
Thorough mixing of seed and added lubricant is
required.
