Recipe Development and Quality Assessment

Quality seeds deserve a high-performance seed treatment. We give you confidence in having a seed treatment that will bring out the best of high-quality seed.

Seed treatment has become the most attractive vehicle to deliver crop protection technology onto the seed. Whereas decades ago, only some fungicides in single or dual component were applied, today up to 10 different technologies can be loaded onto the seed in one shot. For that purpose, a mixture must be prepared according to a well-de­nted and tested recipe specially customised to local crops. In the South African Seedcare Institute experts converse with customers, understand the specifi­c local requirements and are skilled at transforming basic recipes into customised ones that meet important quality criteria.
