Seed Treatment and Seed Coating
Innovative biobased solutions by Roquette
Seed treatment and seed coating are essential practices in modern agriculture that protect seeds during planting, emergence, and early growth stages. These treatments enhance germination rates, seedling vigor, and defense against early-season pests and diseases. Additionally, seed coatings improve handling, flowability, and planting accuracy, making the process more efficient and sustainable.
Meeting sustainability demands in seed treatment
Farmers and agronomists face increasing pressure to adopt environmentally friendly practices while ensuring optimal crop yields. Conventional seed treatments often rely on chemical products that may pose environmental and health concerns. There’s a growing demand for biodegradable, sustainable solutions that meet biodegradability requirements without compromising seed protection and performance. Moreover, reducing the quantity of active ingredients used per seed while maintaining high efficacy remains a key challenge.
