Applications: Biologicals Delivery
Protect the Living Edge of Your Input Program
Biologicals are fragile. The microbes, fungi, and biostimulants you apply are only valuable if they survive the journey—through shipping, through the tank, through the soil.
PED coatings are built to keep biologicals viable longer, with moisture-triggered release, temperature stability, and plastic-free protection that works across systems.
The Problem with Uncoated Biologicals
| Challenge | Real-World Effect |
|---|---|
| UV and heat exposure | Microbe die-off before it hits the soil |
| Desiccation on seed/foliar | Biologicals dry out and fail before activation |
| Short shelf life | Reduced viability during transport and storage |
| Compatibility issues in tank | Microbes killed by fertilizers or surfactants |
| One-shot activation | Biologicals flush all at once, lose effect |
Biologicals need a carrier that works for life—not just application.
What PED Coatings Deliver
| Application Mode | PED Benefit |
|---|---|
| Seed coating | Microbes stay dormant until activated by moisture |
| Soil blends | Bio-based coating stabilizes inoculants in bulk |
| Dry retail packs | Shelf-stable microbe blends that wake up on use |

Compatible Biological Inputs
PED coatings have been used to protect:
- Rhizobacteria
- Mycorrhizae
- Trichoderma spp.
- Nitrogen-fixing blends
- Fungal biocontrol agents
- Spore-forming bacteria and inoculants
- Microbial stimulant blends (humics, kelp, amino chelates)
System Fit
Used by: Organic and regenerative growers. Biological formulation companies. Retailers needing shelf-stable bio blends. On-seed, in-row, or post-plant microbial programs. Co-op and toll coating facilities
Bottom Line
Biologicals are the most promising—but also most vulnerable—category of ag inputs.
PED coatings help protect that promise:
- ✅ Holds microbes stable in storage
- ✅ Delivers them live to the field
- ✅ Times their activation with moisture
- ✅ Avoids synthetic chemistry or microplastics
- ✅ Enables flexible stacking with nutrients or stimulants
Living inputs deserve a delivery system that keeps them alive.
