red tomato seeds

[TightenUp]

i ordered seeds and they are bright red. is this the "treated" seeds i've read about?

ok, i found the answer myself but have run into more questions.

the seeds i got are treated with thiram. they said it on the website i bought them from i just didnt see it at the time or i would have passed.

does anyone know what the effects of thiram treated seeds will have on my actinovate and mycos? i will be starting seed indoors in jiffy mix so will the thiram be gone by the time the actinovate and mycos are added 6-8 weeks later during plant out?

I've seen very few sites that send out Thiram treated tomato seeds and since Thiram is an anti-fungal I'm assuming that they would be of more interest to large scale commercial farmers who direct seed tomato seeds/

Yes, the Thiram will be gone, left behind, when the seeds germinate so no worry about what you might use on seedlings and mature plants.
