APPLICATIONS: Seed Treatment
Smarter Starts Begin with Durable Delivery
Seed treatment isn’t just about adhesion—it’s about control. With PED coatings, seed treatment becomes a tool to manage germination timing, protect biologicals, extend shelf life, and improve seed performance from storage to soil.
Organic or conventional. Dryland or irrigated.
We build coatings that deliver in the conditions growers actually face.
Why Coating Matters
Once you plant it, you can’t take it back.
That’s why PED seed coatings are engineered to solve more than just flowability.
| Common Concern | PED Seed Coating Solution |
|---|---|
| Early germination in unstable weather | Delays water uptake to manage timing |
| Microbe die-off before activation | Moisture-triggered coatings protect until needed |
| Poor seed-to-soil contact | Uniform texture improves contact and placement |
| Inconsistent flow in planters | Smooth, dust-free coating improves singulation |
| Short shelf life of treated seed | Stabilizes biologicals and nutrients in dry form |
| Complex treatment stacks | Enables trace, biological, and timing fusion in one coat |
PED coatings protect the value of every seed—before, during, and after it hits the soil.
Built for Farm and Commercial Use
PED coatings are:
- Cold-applied — no drying ovens or heat
- Shelf-stable in sealed packaging
- Compatible with rotary drums, seed mixers, or coating tumblers
- Available in Organicote™ (NOP-aligned) and NutriLaq™ (high-performance) formats
- Stackable with nutrients, stimulants, inoculants, and more
Whether you’re treating at the co-op, the bagging line, or the farm shop, our coatings hold their value.
Where It Fits
| Crop / System Type | PED Benefit |
|---|---|
| Organic row crops, cereals, cover crops | Germination control and biological protection |
| High-value vegetables and herbs | Improves uniform emergence and early vigor |
| Greenhouse or plug production | Reduced stress, better water interaction |
| Reforestation, prairie, or CRP mixes | Delayed sprouting during variable weather |
| Seed retail & inventory programs | Improved shelf life, cleaner packaging, and no dust-off |
More Than Just a Coating
PED transforms seed treatment from a formality to a functional layer that improves timing, delivery, and success.
We enable:
- Delayed germination for risk mitigation
- Microbial protection through dry dormancy
- Precise nutrient placement at the seed trench
- Plastic-free compliance for organic and regenerative programs
- Shelf stability for distributors and seed retailers
The Bottom Line
You only get one shot with seed.
PED coatings offer:
Control over when germination begins. Protection for biological life and stimulants. Shelf-stable, retail-ready performance. Options for organic or conventional programs. Application flexibility across treatment scales and systems
This is more than seed coating.
It’s input insurance in a layer that stays where it matters.
