Film coating
Creating a thin coating around the seed is another accomplishment for seed coating technology, which uses pigments accompanied by water-soluble polymeric materials. Of the advantages of this method is frequent use of the formula during spraying and drying processes, which in turn causes a thin multi-layered coating to form on the seeds.
Favorable factors for seed treatment:
1. Adequate effect against pathogens
2. No poisoning effect in the plant
3. No negative effect on germination
4. Optimal storage
5. Cost-effectiveness
Organisms controlled by seed treatment:
1. Fungi, viruses and seed-borne bacteria
2. fungi and bacteria of soil and insects that damage the plant during the germination or seedling stage. The Vigor index shows how well a seed mass can withstand various environmental stresses. It is also an important parameter for measuring seed quality, which plays an important role in agricultural and horticultural production.
