Biological inputs only work if they’re still viable when they hit the field. Most die off in storage, dry out on the seed, or wash off the leaf.
Durable Inputs™ coatings are built to protect that value.
Our platform enables you to coat biologicals in a dry, stable form—and release them only when field conditions are ready.
Let’s test your strain or blend and see what our coating can protect.
What the Coating Does
Works dry—no sludge, no refrigeration
| Biological Challenge | Durable Inputs™ Coating Fixes It By… |
|---|---|
| Microbes die from heat or drying out | Bio-based film protects against desiccation and UV |
| Shelf life is too short | Extends storage by keeping biologicals dormant |
| Biologicals activate too early | Delays exposure until field moisture is present |
| Poor survival after application | Holds microbes in place during rain, irrigation, or wind |
Discuss how Durable Inputs™ can improve the shelf life and survival of your microbial product.
How It Works
The coating forms a moisture-triggered barrier around dry microbial material (spores, bacteria, inoculants, stimulants). It stays stable in transit, packaging, and soil—then breaks down with water, releasing the biologicals right where and when they’re needed.
- Cold-applied — safe for living organisms
- Compatible with dry or liquid delivery systems
- Bio-based and inert — no synthetic interaction
- Stackable with trace nutrients, stimulants, or protectants
- Available in Organicote™ and NutriLaq™ formats

Performance Comparison
| Feature | Uncoated Biologicals | Peat/Clay Carriers | Durable Inputs™ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desiccation protection | ❌ None | ⚠️ Minimal | ✅ Strong moisture resistance |
| Shelf stability | ⚠️ Limited | ⚠️ Moderate | ✅ Extended dry storage |
| Moisture-triggered activation | ❌ No | ⚠️ Inconsistent | ✅ Yes |
| Organic-compatible | ✅ Sometimes | ⚠️ Variable | ✅ Fully supported (Organicote™) |
| Plastic-free | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
Bottom Line
Biological inputs are powerful—but fragile.
Durable Inputs™ coatings give them the protection and timing they need to work in the real world.
No sludge. No synthetic films. No waste.
Just living products that stay viable until they’re needed—then get to work.
