Seed pelleting is an advanced process that coats seeds with a combination of products, forming a uniform layer that increases their size, weight and shape. This smooth layer facilitates handling and mechanized planting, as well as allowing the incorporation of active ingredients and additives.
Laborsan Agro, a reference in technological solutions for the seed market, presents its highlights in the pelleting process, using the exclusive LabGum and LabMax products. These solutions together coat the seeds, resulting in a homogeneous product with a smooth appearance and superior mechanical resistance, promoting greater plantability.
LabGum is a product that dissolves easily at room temperature, providing excellent adhesion even at low concentrations. It is non-toxic to humans and does not interfere with seed physiology, making it ideal for guaranteeing an efficient and safe coating.
LabMax is suitable for coating, providing homogeneity in the size and shape of the seeds. It also works as a vehicle for active ingredients and additives such as fungicides, insecticides, nematicides and biopromoters. In addition, LabMax does not interfere with germination rates, offering versatility and safety in the process.
Differences between pelletizing and fouling
Although pelletizing and encrustation share some similarities, each technique has specific characteristics that meet different agricultural needs.
In pelletizing, the aim is to create a uniform layer that significantly increases the size and weight of the seeds, giving them a smooth, homogeneous shape. This process is ideal for situations where mechanized planting requires high precision, as well as allowing the incorporation of various active ingredients that promote seed protection and development.
Inlaying, on the other hand, preserves the original shape of the seed, smoothing out surface imperfections. It is an efficient solution for short-term needs and situations where the original shape of the seed must be maintained.
"We are committed to offering high-performance solutions that guarantee not only productivity, but also safety and sustainability in the field. Each technology has been developed to meet the specific demands of our customers, promoting exceptional results in various agricultural crops," says Agronomist Robson Soares, Agronomy and GDM Manager at Laborsan Agro.
