Seed coating is the application of different substances, layer by layer, in revolving drums. It is a complex process carried out by experienced technicians. Coated seeds represent an enormous advance and can be applied to all kinds of seeds. It allows for a safe controlled and easy sowing. The advantages of this advance in seed technology can also be applied when sowing mixtures. Coated seeds can be used to advantage in extreme conditions and in challenging regions. Seed technology is the future. Our latest method of coating with its unique Water Absorbing Seed Process allows for seeding in more extreme conditions, and with minimal cultivation with a reduced irrigation requirement.

The coated seed system

Effects of bio stimulant
- Vitality
- Healthy seedlings
- Lower susceptibility to diseases

Humic acids as a part of the seed coating
- Enhanced nutrition uptake
- Faster germination
- Quicker establishment
- Promotes root development

WASP – Water Absorbing Seed Process
- Water reservoir (absorber) placed around the seed
- Absorber takes in 100 times more water than non-coated seed
- Additional water for germination and establishment of the seedling
- Overcomes stress situations

Bacteria
- Rhizobia bacteria for a better N- nodulation (clover / alfalfa)
