The Emergis family of treatments provides priming for a wide range of vegetable, flower and herb species. Brands include Emergis XL and Emergis XT.
A specific range of Thermo Dormancy treatments for lettuce that enable the tolerance of light and temperature ranges that would otherwise inhibit germination.
The Activa enhancement treatment relieves dormancy and is available for seed of a limited range of vegetable species.
This allows for the filling and rounding out of irregular shaped or sized seeds. It does not substantially alter the shape of the seed, but instead adds specific build up by weight.
A range of encrustment technologies for broad acre or field crops.
Specifically developed for grass seed species to add weight and uniformity to the seed.
Targeted at maintaining germination levels even under limited moisture conditions.
A market-leading lightweight field pellet, which splits neatly when placed in suitably moist growing conditions. Developed for direct drilled crops and very widely used for onion, leek and carrot seed.
A heavier pellet compared to ProPell, but with similar splitting characteristics.
Germains longest-serving pellet technology, very heavy and with a main purpose of adding precision of singulation and weight.
A smooth and uniform splitting pellet used for transplant production in trays and peat blocks. It is very well suited for lettuce and endive, and many other vegetable crops.
A crumbling pellet used for transplant production in trays and peat blocks. It is best suited for fennel, tomato and some other crops.
Designed for the improved handling and plantability of small seeded ornamentals and tobacco seed. It has unique melting properties on contact with moisture.
Our Spectrum seed coating polymer range includes aqueous pre-mixes of polymer-binding, opacifier, and dispersed pigment colour in a range of colours are available.
The result of an exclusive collaborative agreement between Germains and MicroTag-Temed. Each seed lot coated with ProTag responds to a distinctive mixed electronic fingerprint signature, read via a handheld scanning device.
Recognising the growth area of the organic market, many of Germains seed technologies can be applied under the ProBio banner satisfying statutory organic requirements.
