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.
- PED seed coatings give you control over that moment—without relying on polymers, pelleting agents, or synthetic binders.
See how one layer can control emergence, stack inputs, and extend shelf life.
What the Coating Does
| Seed Challenge | Durable Inputs™ Coating Fixes It By… |
|---|---|
| Germinates too early in poor conditions | Slows water uptake for timed, delayed germination |
| Microbes die on the seed surface | Protects biologicals in a dry, dormant state |
| Seed dries out before activation | Adds a moisture-stable film to reduce desiccation |
| Seed distributors | Extend shelf life and avoid humidity-triggered failure |
| Poor seed-soil contact | Improves weight and texture for better placement |
| Shelf life is too short for treated seed | Creates 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.
- Plastic-free
- Polymer-free
- Compatible with NOP-compliant programs (Organicote™)
- Works with rotary drums, tumblers, and small-batch coaters
- Supports dual- or triple-action formulations (e.g., stim + trace + inoculant)
Use the PED platform to stay compliant and durable in certified programs.
