# Arginine seed treatment could help offset heat impacts

> Arevo says its arginine-based seed coating, Arginex, offset heat stress in replicated winter wheat trials across northern France, Germany, northern Italy and Poland. Treated wheat yielded 0.26 t/ha more on average and held yield with nitrogen and phosphorus cut by 20%. The company cites European yield and quality losses after 40°C temperatures last summer.

## Why it matters

A seed treatment that protects yield at lower fertiliser rates could ease input costs and modestly add to European wheat supply, though the effect is company-reported and small in scale.
