Seed coating technologies enhance seed performance by adding protective layers containing nutrients, growth stimulants, and pest repellents. These coatings improve germination rates, reduce vulnerability to diseases, and enable seeds to thrive in challenging conditions. Modern coatings also include polymers that control water absorption and safeguard seeds during storage. By reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, seed coatings promote sustainable agricultural practices. This innovation not only boosts crop yield but also ensures eco-friendly farming, meeting the growing demand for resource-efficient solutions.
