AGROBIND™
A comprehensive platform of plant-based polymers for agriscience coating developed by Roquette.
Addressing key challenges in agricultural coating solutions
The agricultural industry is increasingly seeking sustainable, safe, and high-performance coating solutions that address environmental concerns and meet modern farming demands. With the rise of hybrid, GM, and biological seeds, the need for innovative coating technologies has never been greater.
Fertilizer, seed and seed treatment producers, distributors, and farmers face several challenges:
- The demand for microplastic-free and water-soluble coatings to reduce environmental impact
- Enhancing seed germination, vigor, and protection against pests and diseases
- Increasing the nutrient use efficiency and bolstering crop yields
- Minimizing dust emissions during application to ensure safety
- Meeting increasing regulatory standards for safety and sustainability
Revolutionizing agriculture with plant-based coating technology: introducing AGROBIND™
Designed to meet the growing need for eco-friendly seed coatings, AGROBIND™ offers safe, effective binders that promote plant growth, safeguard farmer health, and support environmental conservation. This innovative technology redefines standards in film coating, encrusting, pelleting and granulation, delivering superior performance with plant-based materials that are microplastic-free and water-soluble.
AGROBIND™ enhances seed and fertilizer performance in multiple ways:
- Safety and Sustainability: Designed to reduce dust emissions during application and minimize environmental impact, AGROBIND™ lowers solvent use and carbon footprint
- Improved Germination: Provides full seed coverage with biodegradable, microbe-compatible binders, leading to significantly higher germination rates and better seedling vigor
- Market impact: As global seed coating markets are projected to reach 2.8 billion by 2029, and the fertilizer coating market is anticipated to grow at more than 5% and reach $2.2billion by 2030, key trends are driving these significant growth trajectories. The adoption of AGROBIND™ helps producers meet rising demand for high-quality, easy-to-sow seeds using sustainable technology. Simultaneously, advancements in fertilizer coatings enhance nutrient use efficiency, minimizing environmental impact, and bolstering crop yields across diverse agricultural systems. Together, these innovations are fostering a more sustainable and productive agricultural landscape.
