Seed coating
Film Coating and pelleting of seeds
The aim of this formulation is to guarantee the availability of the a.i. at the correct time. Seed treated in this way can be handled in the seeding machine to permit a correct flow rate without affected by build-up of dust and powders.
In the film coating process a polymer solution is sprayed onto the seeds to give a thin shell or coating around each seed.
Chosen of the blend material
Easy gemination
Compatibility with the seeds
Maximize the adhesion
Seed Coating reason
Minimize the drying time of the treated seed
Minimize dust-off
The seeds are more uniform to permit an easier flow through the seed drill.
