Seed Coating

One Shot. Smarter Start.

When you plant a seed, you get one chance.
The moment it hits the soil, it starts interacting with moisture, microbes, temperature, and pressure.

See how one layer can control emergence, stack inputs, and extend shelf life.

What the Coating Does

 

Seed ChallengeDurable Inputs™ Coating Fixes It By…
Germinates too early in poor conditionsSlows water uptake for timed, delayed germination
Microbes die on the seed surfaceProtects biologicals in a dry, dormant state
Seed dries out before activationAdds a moisture-stable film to reduce desiccation
Seed distributorsExtend shelf life and avoid humidity-triggered failure
Poor seed-soil contactImproves weight and texture for better placement
Shelf life is too short for treated seedCreates a dry-stable layer that extends viability

Whether you need emergence control, microbial protection, or input stacking, PED coatings help seed do more than sprout.

Discuss formulation goals, coating methods, and performance targets.

How It Works

PED coatings use a cold-applied, bio-based film that bonds to raw or treated seed surfaces. It resists premature moisture penetration, enhances storage stability, and allows biologicals or nutrients to be layered for immediate or delayed effect.

Use the PED platform to stay compliant and durable in certified programs.
