The Pellet
The pellet is a light density, melting pellet with a smooth white
surface and excellent uniformity. The materials form a pellet with a
high porosity for increased oxygen availability. It has been thoroughly
tested and commercialized for use on carrot seed and should be approved
for lettuce and onion shortly. We are also testing the pellet on tomato,
pepper, broccoli and cauliflower.
All the tests thus far have shown
that the quality of NatureCoatTM is comparable to non-organic
pellets currently on the market.
Here is an example of field test
results comparing NatureCoatTM
with non-organic commercially
successful pellets applied to carrot, onion and lettuce seed.
