Film Coating Process efficiency

Seed solutions for broadacre crops

Disco film coats are formulated to keep actives securely on the seed while ensuring smooth, uninterrupted seed flow through planters. As an added advantage, Disco Plus delivers a concentrated “starter pack” of nutrients to nourish the seedling right from the start. And for growers of modern broadacre hybrid seeds — such as canola, barley, sorghum, and wheat, the stakes are high.

With a substantial investment in seeds, seed treatments and high‑speed precision seeding systems, the last thing you want is to lose the seed treatment efficacy through abrasion and dust off. Equally disastrous is a seeding system with blocked airlines and skips in the vacuum meters caused by irregular or sticky seeds.

Frequently asked questions

These FAQs cover some common questions, but if yours isn’t listed, feel free to contact us — we’re here to help!

The challenges faced by Australia’s growers are diverse but can often be overcome using the right seed technology. We have products that support good dust-off management, faster and more uniform emergence and crop stand - even under stress - and protect seed health. And we can work with you to develop products that meet your unique needs.

Our innovative seed coatings are highly compatible with a wide range of plant protection products. 

Our next-generation coatings can be tailored to help your seeds thrive in the Australian dryland conditions. These products have added micronutrients that will result in stronger plants from day 1. Integrating biological stimulants into the coating, encourage longer shoots allowing the plant access to deeper soil.

Direct seed application of fungicide & insecticide layers shield emerging seedlings from pests and disease and is far more targeted than other methods. Applying these products integrated in a seed coating reduces the amount of active needed dramatically and our special polymers keep the active contained. This is better for both the environment and for anyone handling the seeds.

When top soil is starved of nutrients, the seeds and seedlings need extra nutrition. Micronutrients are integrated into a seed coating and applied directly to the seed supply that nutrition. Improving the plant's early vigor leads to stronger root systems and higher yield potential providing a kick-start for a healthy crop.

Disco film coats are formulated to improve the flowability of the treated seeds. The reduced friction in delivery tubes allows a consistent seeding rate,  even at elevated tractor speeds minimising skips and doubles. This, in turn, provides the optimal conditions for precision planting. Seeds are sown at precisely the right depth and distance from each other - no competition for making optimal use of the available area and avoiding any competition between seeds and seedlings for moisture or resources in the soil. This result is a more uniform and complete field emergence.

Ther issues facing growers in this region are diverse. Incotec has the know-how to formulate seed-safe coatings which are compatible with moisture management, nutrition, biological boosters, and protection agents in a seed-applied solutionWe can tailor our solutions to meet your requirements. Your first step is contacting a local seed technology expert. We can then discuss your particular needs and together we will investigate the right solution for you.
