The nutrient coating helps with early seedling development.
Improves seed flowability.
Helps isolate users from chemical seed treatments.

No dusting.
Increased safety for user.
Improved flowability.
Nutrient pack – better start.
Visibility in soil.
Nutrient coatings have been shown to have a positive effect on yield.

How does it work?

The modes of action include the beneficial effects of precisely placed nutrients with the emerging seeds.
The polymers and additives help with initial seed contribution and dust reduction. The bulking effect of the coating and layering helps with seed flow and user safety.
