Seed Coating with Fortified Inputs Technology

Why Seed Coatings Haven’t Evolved Until Now

What most seed coatings do:

CRF Limitation
Improve flowability
Add color
Deliver dry-applied treatments
(if conditions are right)
Break down as soon as moisture hits

What they don’t do:

CRF Limitation
Delay germination
Time water uptake
Protect against premature sprouting
Layer in nutrients or biologicals
with any real stability

You’re not getting performance. You’re getting packaging.

Seed Coating

What Fortified Inputs Make Possible

Built on PED’s alcohol-soluble, biodegradable coating system, Fortified Inputs™ allow you to:

What Fortified Inputs Make Possible

Use Case Fortified Inputs™ Benefit
Relay planting Synthetic polymer
Flood-prone fields Prevent premature sprouting from standing water
Early planting Hold seed in dormancy until safe emergence window
Seed distributors Extend shelf life and avoid humidity-triggered failure
Organic programs Compliant coating without polymeric binders

Functional Capabilities

Seed coating is no longer passive. Fortified Inputs™ enable:

  • Germination Delay Control
    Adjustable from hours to 2+ weeks
  • Micronutrient Pre-Loading
    Zinc, manganese, calcium, or others directly on-seed
  • Biological or Biostimulant Carriers
    Shelf-stable coating that preserves microbe viability
  • Stacked Payloads
    Timing + nutrition + protection in one application

How It’s Applied

  • Thin-film, alcohol-soluble coating
  • Plastic-free, water-free, and applied cold
  • Compatible with: Vegetable seed, row crop seed, cover crops, treated or untreated materials

Application Methods:

  • PED’s internal coating team
  • Contract coating partners
  • On-site blender-integrated systems (OEM coming soon)

Fortified Inputs are working to make the coating the control system. PED’s platform may give emergence control, nutrient integration, and protection from the moment it leaves the bag.
