Designed to meet the growing demand for microplastic-free seed coating solutions in agriculture, AGROBIND™ by Roquette is comprehensive platform of safe and effective plant-based binders that promote plant growth, farmer safety and environmental conservation. This cutting-edge technology is redefining standards in film coating, encrusting and pelleting with plant-based polymers designed to meet and exceed traditional performance requirements in agricultural applications.
AGROBIND™ elevates performance on many levels:
- Enhanced Growth: A biodegradable binder with good microbial compatibility, film-forming and binding properties, AGROBIND™ gives full seed coverage with significantly higher germination rates.
- Safer: AGROBIND™ is designed to minimize dust emissions during the application process, reducing the risk of inhalation and environmental contamination.
- Eco-friendly: AGROBIND™ is plant-based, microplastic free and water-soluble, reducing solvent use and carbon emissions.
The global market for seed coatings is projected to reach $2,8B in 2029*, driven by increasing demand for innovative, robust, high-quality, easy-to-sow seeds. Coatings protect seeds from spoilage, improve their shelf-life, and help strengthen growing conditions. These benefits are even more impactful when using new technologies, such as hybrid and GM seeds or biological active ingredients.
Noting the significant potential of this solution for the agriscience market, Julien Honore, Head of Agriscience & Fermentation at Roquette, stated, “These formulations not only enhance seed performance by improving germination, seedling vigor, and protection against early-season insects and diseases, they demonstrate Roquette's commitment to sustainable agriculture and cutting-edge technologies that help shape the future of the agriscience market – and the planet.”
AGROBIND™ empowers seed treatment producers across the globe to attain higher levels of performance, safety and sustainability.
