The seed, which is the first of many growing stages in a plant’s life cycle, is also the stage at which the plant is most vulnerable.
Therefore, safeguarding the seed is the most important step in ensuring the growth and productivity of the plant.
What is AgriCOTE®?
When applied to seeds, AgriCOTE® helps seed get off to a good start by providing extra nutrition, preventing damping-off, and shielding them from pests and diseases. AgriCOTE® will improve seed-to-soil contact, which is crucial for a plant’s initial growth and development.
To ensure uniform and even-sized seeds, the materials are added gradually as layers are built up.
Seed environments enriched with nutrients
Adding extra nutrients acts as a reservoir of food for the seedlings and the soil microorganisms.
Increased soil-to-seed contact
Better seed-to-soil contact increases the chance of germination by making it easier for the seed to take in water and nutrients.
Accurate seed distribution
Better seed flowability and manageability:
- Larger seeds are easier to plant.
- Improved form for machine calibration
- Less “Fluffy” – simple and consistent placement
- Heavier, improving placement precision
Every type of seed has a unique formulation and application recipe that can be used.
To ensure uniform and even-sized seeds, the materials are added gradually as layers are built up.
