Seed Treatments
Pelleting and encrustment
Using the same patent-pending seed coating technology as SilviCoat Forester, SilviBio has developed formulations that can be used to form encrusted seed or pellets.
The biobased, microplastic-free formulation contains moisture-retaining materials and can be adapted to incorporate any essential nutrients required by the seed.
SilviCoat Forester
SilviCoat Forester is a novel, patent-pending biobased seed coating formulation with significant moisture-retaining properties. It has been developed and formulated to create a water-swellable film on tree seeds.
Its key features include:
-
A thin-film seed coating for easy storage and sowing.
-
A film coating that captures water and swells up to 50 times.
-
Sustainable, biopolymer-based formulation, providing an alternative to petroleum-based polymers currently used by the coating industry.
-
Biodegradable and microplastic-free.
-
Up to 40% improvement in germination in dry conditions.
At SilviBio, we go to great lengths to not only make effective seed coatings, but we try to make them easy to use.
