Specifier Sheet Water Absorbent Seed Coating Gel

Terra-Sorb® Seedcoat Gel: A starch-based water absorbent polymer formulated with a dry sticker to form a black-colored coating when mixed dry with seeds. When exposed to water, the coating absorbs 75 to 120 times its weight, holding this water firmly against the seed. Seed germination depends upon sufficient absorption of water. Terra-Sorb® Seedcoat Gel improves germination rates by increasing the time each coated seed is directly exposed to water.
