AquaTEKsc™
A water-absorbing technology that helps maintain a capsule of moisture around each seed during the germination process.
Capture the Water with AquaTEKsc™
Seeds must have water to both germinate and establish. For a seed to germinate, the shell of the seed needs to be softened and the inside of the seed needs to have a chance to absorb water. If, however, there is only a small amount of water, the seed may never get soft enough or it may germinate, only to die for lack of additional moisture.
AquaTEKsc™ water-absorbing technology helps maintain a capsule of moisture around each seed through the germination process. It has the ability to absorb 63% more water than our standard coating and can retain the moisture over twice as long as both standard coated and raw seed. AquaTEKsc™ can absorb 298% more water than raw seed.
AquaTEKsc™ is available as a single enhancement or in conjunction with most of our other seed enhancement technologies.
