About us

Incotec is part of Croda Agriculture, the umbrella brand which combines the expertise of Croda's agricultural businesses. Within Croda Agriculture, Incotec is the seed enhancement specialist. We specialise in improving the quality of seed through seed technology.

Why seed enhancement?

The global population will increase by 2 billion in the coming years. With all these people needing healthy food, and the area of land for cultivation decreasing, the space for agricultural purposes needs to be used in the smartest way possible. We need to have 100% of seeds germinating and young plants growing strongly so that there is no waste of valuable ground or harvest. Incotec's seed enhancement techniques improve germination, stimulate the healthy development of seeds and seedlings, improve plant resilience and increase crop yield.

What is seed enhancement?

Seed enhancement techniques range from cleaning, upgrading and priming (pre-germination) to pelleting, film coating and encrusting. Incotec has a great deal of knowledge in the fields of biology, physiology (the seed), technique and formulations. We are the experts in combining the living seed with different coatings and plant protection products and nutrients.

With research and production facilities worldwide, our solutions support seed companies, breeders, growers and farmers around the globe and contribute to the development of sustainable agriculture.
