What is a Seed Coating?
In the agricultural market, a seed coating is a functional layer of protection and adhesive film that envelops the seed. A common practice for agricultural productivity, seed coatings result in minimal changes in the size and shape of seeds in order to maximize proficiency and performance. The primary purpose of a seed coating is to keep active ingredients on the seed.
What are the Benefits of Seed Coating?
Seed coatings provide a range of key benefits for seed companies, seed distributors, farmers and agricultural machinery. Superior seed coating technologies allow for better seed dust control; improved flowability, sowability and seed coverage; enhanced visual appearance and more. Additionally, the best seed coating solutions can also ensure efficacy in plant protection and early plant establishment, boost the marketability of treated seeds and boost drilling efficiency.
