Confidence in rigorous testing methods
As an integral part of Syensqo Seed Care, we always strive to provide you with the highest-quality seed coatings by applying strict tests during the various stages of product development. That's why we can achieve defined levels of performance in terms of dust control, flowability, sowability, abrasion resistance, seed coverage, and the active ingredient content on individual seeds.
Heubach test
This internationally recognized test measures dust emission levels. The test results clearly show how our seed coatings reduce dust emissions and active ingredient lesses from abrasion.
Attrition test
This internal test determines the total amount of dust caused by abrasion, in that it simulates the rough handling of treated seed. With these tests, we regularly monitor the reliability of our Peridiam® seed coatings to ensure our extremely high quality standards are always met.
Flowability test
This computer-assisted test checks the ability of a seed to pass through an application machine easily without sticking or caking. To that end, we measure the force that is needed to overcome the seed's resistance to move around the probe. The lower the required force, the better the seed flows - and the more accurate our customer's plant can be.
Sowability & plantability tests
These tests measure the ability of treated seeds to be sown with accuracy in various conditions thanks to a drilling bench equipped with several mechanical or pneumatic planters. The choice of the planter depends on the crop. For corn, for example, the measure is based on the sowing of 4.000 seeds; it determines the single seeds, and the inaccuracies (e. g.: missing seeds, double seed drops, broken seeds etc.)
Visual appearance test
Our seed experts check the visual appearance of our seed coatings before and after abrasion. To this end, we use high-precision machines to measure the abrasion of our solutions on the seed in order to provide the best possible appearance in accordance with our customers' market needs.
