We provide
customised services from six locations around the world, ranging
from seed priming and upgrading to minimum & sized pelleted
products and seed treatments for crop and seedling protection.
We also provide engineered solutions throughout the world with
the supply of fully commissioned and supported turn-key projects
in these areas of seed technology.

Pellets and
coatings
Minimum
COATINGS |
Fully adapted range of
encrusted products used to add weight or as inert
carriers for basic nutrient or fungicide treatments, for
seeds of sugar beet, vegetables, grasses and forage root
crops.
Not usually graded, these coatings offer the same
flexibility as full pellets in their combinability with
priming and upgrading treatments.

SIZED AND
GRADED PELLETS
Eleven different pellet types suited to precise build-up and
size grading for all precision planted field or modular planted
crops. These include seed of sugar and fodder beet, and an
extensive range of horticultural and flower seeds, tobacco and
valuable breeders or elite seed stocks.
All our pellets are designed to be fully compatible with a wide
range of climatic conditions or growing environments to offer
the highest germination potential. The pellets combine their
size grading and seed shaping roles with excellent synergies for
priming, upgrading and seed applied crop protection agrochemical
treatments.

Used
commercially throughout the Group, by our technology partners
and clients for over a decade, our film coating products give
optimal performance through both batch and continuous precision
coating systems. They offer full compatibility to apply all base
fungicide and insecticide seed treatment products currently
registered world-wide.
As the world leading independent seed technology provider, the
Group collaborates with all major agricultural life science
companies in developing coating methodology and recipes from the
early life cycle of new molecules. Our film coating products
have treated thousands of tonnes of pelleted sugar beet,
lettuce, and other seeds with high value seed treatments
formulations based on world renowned active ingredients, such as
imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, clothianidin and tefluthrin both at
our locations, and those of our technology partners and
customers.

We provide a
full range of physiological treatments. There range from
discrete water-based steeping processes to remove germination
inhibitors and increase outright germination, or introduce
fungicides to eradicate seed borne diseases, to tailored and
fully optimised seed priming processes to advance or improve the
speed, uniformity and rate of seed germination for a wide range
of agro climatic requirements.
Seed treated can range from grams of flower seed to tonnes of
sugar beet seed per batch.
Other performance enhancers such as seed upgrading and sorting
via state of the art processes are routinely offered to improve
vegetable and flower seed germination ability.
These treatments are available on a large portfolio of
horticultural, ornamental and agronomic crop species. |
