The application of polymer on forage seeds provides them with a thin protective layer around them. This layer, besides improving seed flow and reducing dust release, enhances the adhesion of active ingredients and additives that may be incorporated with the seed. Therefore, the polymer ensures better application of products such as insecticides and fungicides on the seed, keeps the applied product in contact with it for a longer time, and provides greater safety for operators and the environment.
The polymer also has the property of regulating moisture absorption by the seed. Too rapid water absorption can cause cell death, thus impairing seed germination and seedling development.
