How can seed coating contribute? Which are the challenges?
- 1. Further exploit existing seed coating benefits
- 2. Eliminate microplastic in seed coatings (complete biodegradability)
- 3. Utilize seed space for new chemistry/(micro)nutrients
- 4. Adapt to bio-stimulants, bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides
- 1. Seed coating benefits..... easy, right?
13
- 2. Eliminate microplastics
‘Binders’ in filmcoats and some pellets are considered microplastics

- 2. Microplastics are future threat
1940 2100
ecological effects likely predicted microplastic concentrations (beach)
15
- 2. Eliminate microplastics
‘Binders’ in filmcoats and some pellets are considered microplastics Alternatives biodegradable or natural Long-term seed-safety needed
16
- 3. Utilize seed space for new chemistry,
(micro)nutrients and stimulants
compatibility (between various components) seed space used more wisely (optimize efficiency in inputs)
17
- 4. Adapt to bio-pesticides, bio-stimulants,
bio-fertilizers
compatibility with chemicals, production methods, etc etc
- n-seed viability (shelf-life); Bacillus vs Rhizobium vs Pseudomonas etc;
….. microbial-friendly filmcoat?

The world is changing A growing population. Changing climate conditions. ‘Chemical inputs’ scrutinized. Other issues like microplastics. Our assignment Feed the growing population. With no negative environmental
- impact. In the most sustainable way.
Our challenges Further exploit existing seed coating benefits. Tackle the microplastic issue and work towards complete biodegradability. Utilize seed space for new chemistry, nutrients & stimulants. Adapt to bio- stimulants, -fertilizers and –pesticides.
