TeeJet Technologies (TeeJet) and Inflexion Point Technologies, LLC (IPT) have announced a partnership to bring IPT’s patented Prescriptive On-Planter Seed Treater (POP-ST) solution to market through TeeJet’s global application technology platform.
The collaboration enables in-field seed treatment decisions and real-time, data-driven micro-application directly at planting. By combining TeeJet’s leadership in precision application with IPT’s POP-ST technology, farmers gain a new way to direct seed treatment investments to where they generate the greatest profit.
“For nearly a century, TeeJet has focused on helping farmers put the right product on the right acre with precision and reliability,” said Doug Gamm, Sales and Marketing Manager, Electronics, TeeJet Technologies. “Partnering with IPT and their prescriptive, on-planter seed treatment solution is a natural extension of that mission and gives farmers a new tool to turn data into decisions at the seed level.”
POP-ST is the industry’s first prescriptive, on-planter seed treatment system available for virtually any planter in the market. The modular, planter-mounted system can be outfitted on new or existing planters and is controlled by prescriptive software that allows farmers to:
• Apply seed treatments in real time, directly to the seed immediately prior to planting
• Adjust products and rates in real-time based on any field variable that impacts profitability—including soil type, hybrid or variety, yield history, disease or insect risk, and management practice
• Invest more where the payoff is greatest and enable new biological and specialty seed treatments that are constrained by conventional treating or in-furrow approaches
“POP-ST was built to expand farmer choice and unlock the next class of seed treatments — especially biological and regenerative options that farmers want but can’t always get through traditional treating channels,” said Nick Iwig, CEO of Inflexion Point Technologies. “TeeJet’s footprint and commitment to application excellence make them the ideal partner to scale this technology and help farmers invest in treatments where they create the most profit.”
By leveraging TeeJet’s electronics and controllers, the POP-ST system is designed to be installed on farmers’ planters regardless of make, model, or age. The result is a field-ready solution that allows growers to adopt prescriptive seed treatment without changing how they farm or who they work with today.
The partners expect the POP-ST system, powered by TeeJet, will support a growing pipeline of seed-applied products, including biologicals and bio stimulants, targeted disease and insect management tools, regenerative and soil-health-focused treatments, and specialty products that require precise, on-seed delivery — helping farmers strengthen profit while reducing their overall chemical footprint.
