Delayed Germination Technology | Fortified Inputs

Most seed coatings just carry. Fortified Inputs control.

With our delayed germination technology, you control when the seed wakes up—not the rain, not the temperature, and not chance.

The Problem with Seed Timing Today

As soon as moisture hits a seed, germination begins.

Respiration kicks in. Cells expand. The process can’t be stopped.

But what if:

Without control, the seed starts anyway.

And that leads to stand loss, wasted inputs, and replant risk.

Once germination begins, there’s no going back.

Without a barrier, there’s no buffer.

Why Most Seed Coatings Fail

Most coatings on the market today are carriers—not control systems.

They exist to:

  • Apply color
  • Add weight for pelleting
  • Deliver a treatment (if dry conditions allow)


But they don’t:

  • Delay germination
  • Regulate moisture uptake
  • Protect seed in transit or humidity
  • Survive unpredictable field conditions

 

They’re built for packaging—not performance.

Fortified Inputs™ Shift the Role of the Coating

Our coating creates a moisture-regulating barrier that:

  • Controls when water reaches the seed interior
  • Slows down the start of germination
  • Protects against premature sprouting during early rainfall or irrigation
  • Maintains dormancy until your conditions are right


Depending on formulation, we can delay germination:

  • By hours – buffer light rain
  • By days – survive volatile weather windows
  • By up to 2+ weeks – enable relay planting, staggered emergence, or high-risk zone control


This is about decoupling planting from germination. That’s never been possible—until now.

Why the Barrier Is Critical

Without a barrier:

  • Rain = automatic germination
  • Humidity = early activation in storage
  • You’re at the mercy of the first water event


With a barrier:

  • You get control
  • You protect the payload (nutrients, bio, seed)
  • You delay risk
  • You create opportunity
