Frequently Asked Questions

Seed coating is a process designed to create a nutritious environment in the immediate vicinity of the germinating seed. This provides a "boost" for the seedling in its critical early stages of development. Coated seed benefits the plant in its critical seedling stage thus ensuring early vigor and maximum establishment. The significance of seed coating is to achieve a bigger and heavier variable in size or shape to be spread accurately. Strict control of spacing or depth of placement is vital to achieve the desired harvest. Coated seeds are widely accepted as a standard product for many crops. Coated seed offers better moisture absorption and transfer to the seed for germination, is less likely to be eaten by birds and rodents because of its larger size and offers better seed-to-soil contact.
