Seed Applied Actives or Seed

Actives can have a positive influence on all or any of the phases of seed germination and/or the growth and development of seedlings and plants. Different types of actives are recognized and can be divided into three main sub-groups:
- Plant Protection Products
- Stimulants
- Biologicals

Seed applied plant protection

Plant protection products are actives developed to combat pests and diseases and to enhance seed germination as well as seedling growth and development.

INCOTEC® has developed product lines such as Sanokote® and Sanovision® to combine priming, coating and plant protection product (PPP) application to give you optimal performance of your seeds. The patented Sanokote Smart, for example, can defeat the negative effects often experienced when seeds require high doses of PPPs.

These PPPs may be biological or chemical. In either case these can be organic (natural) or non-organic.

Our researchers are in close collaboration with the developers of seed applied PPPs so that we can continue to provide you with the best formulations for your crop.
