Innovation | Coated Seeds | Elements Taken From Nature To Give A Better Start To Life

New ingredient materials added to coated seed We have made the coated seeds even more user friendly and effective by adding humic acids and a Bio-Stimulant.

Coated Seeds
Coated seeds can be distinguished visually from naked seeds, because of their higher weight and different colour, the shape of the seeds does not change. The higher weight also provides for a better and more secure ground contact and therefore provides a higher growth rate than normal seed. The purely biological components of the coat are non toxic to birds but also not attractive for them to eat.

Advantages of Coated Seed compared to naked seed
Coated seed is a huge step forward in seed application and is suitable for most situations. The controlled, secure and trouble free application of the seed is vital. The advantages of this innovation are valid particularly for small inhomogeneous seeds and also for seed mixture whether the seeds are sown by hand or machine. On difficult surfaces like embankments, highland areas and other hillside situations the need for soil cultivation and preparation is reduced.

There is a higher grain weight of coated seed (1000grm). When the seeds are sown, even in windy weather it will fall in a straight direction whereas the naked seed will fall in an uncontrollable and inconsistent way on to the surface. The higher weight also provides for a better and more secure ground contact and therefore provides a higher growth rate that normal seed. The purely biological components of the coat is non toxic for birds but is not attractive to them .This affords the seed a natural protection from birds. The coating of the seed also guarantees no losses or disease due to fungi.

Effect of the coating
Coated seeds are effective due to the germination and the juvenile development of young seedlings. An important role for germination is the increased water admission when the coating swells. The coat surrounding the seed absorbs water which provides for a secure germination and with it a secure start for the plant. The root development is substantially more distinctive in comparison to naked seed and is more intensive.

The higher 1000grm grain weight of coated seed in comparison to the naked seed ensures a more secure seed/ soil contact. Due to this advantage the coated seed can be reseeded in an existing lawn surface. Naked seeds would germinate on the sheets or stalks lying on the vegetation surface and they would then find it difficult to survive. Opposite to this, the coat which surrounds the grain has an immediate and important protective function. With sufficient irrigation, the coating which is storing the water now delivers the water bit by bit to the seedling within. This therefore prevents dehydration of the seedling. Though naked seeds germinate faster they are exposed to the danger of drying up after the germination because of water shortages.

Future
Coated seed is the future. It allows and increases the ability to use on a variety of surfaces and in extreme situations, it minimises soil cultivation requirements and provides for a reduction of irrigation, as well as the coating giving a controlled application of fertilizer and plant protection agents.
