What coating can do

A seed coating can improve physical handling, carry approved treatments and support more consistent placement. It does not change the variety’s genetic potential.

02

Read rates correctly

Coated product contains seed plus coating material, so kilogram rates cannot be compared without the label basis.

  • Name the marketed product.
  • Use current label quality.
  • Calibrate the actual equipment.
  • Confirm depth and seedbed.
03

Avoid unsupported promises

Do not promise better germination, vigor or yield without a product-specific comparison.
