The Nitro-Coat® Advantage
Every NITRO-COATED® seed
begins with an Advantage. NITRO-COAT® is
an integration of proven research, innovative technology, and state
of the art systems, designed to help plants reach their full establishment
and yield potentials. We call it the NITRO-COAT® Advantage!
ALSO available in ORGANIC - OMRI LISTED!!!
ADVANTAGE #1: The Rhizobium
Multi-Strain® Rhizobia
Just like naturally occurring rhizobium in the soil aren't equally beneficial, those applied to seed can vary in quality and performance. NITRO-COAT® rhizobium strains are specifically chosen for each seed type.
Multi-Strain® Rhizobia for Alfalfa
Our Multi-Strain® technology for alfalfas is an exclusive blend of four rhizobium strains, developed from over 30 years of research. While others only offer one strain, NITRO-COAT'S® four-strain rhizobium is an added insurance policy.
Rhizobia for Clovers
With NITRO-COAT'S® coating process
you can be assured 
that
only the top-performing and crop-specific rhizobia will be applied
to ensure your clovers reach maximum nodulation, stand establishment,
and yield potential.
ADVANTAGE #2: The Process
The NITRO-COAT® Process
In many ways, the process of seed coating is just as important as
the coating 
components. NITRO-COAT® is
more than a coating product, it is an exclusive process to ensure
consistent, effective coating.
State of the Art Equipment
Every bag of NITRO-COATED® seed
is processed 
through
our modern coating facility, using state-of-the-art equipment and
the latest computerization and automation, giving our technicians
complete control of the entire process.
Constant Monitoring/Quality Lab
Throughout the NITRO-COAT® process, 
our
on-site quality-control lab continually runs tests to ensure correct
moisture content, durability, viability, quality, color, and consistency.
Expertise
The NITRO-COAT® operation team has over 40 years of combined expertise in coating seed, providing our customers a comfort level that each coating order will be filled correctly, consistently, and efficiently.
Speed and Efficiency
Our unique dual-line coating facility allows us to either run high volumes, or multiple NITRO-COAT® simultaneously.
MORE ADVANTAGES:
NITRO-COATED® seed offers many other advantages to ensure your seed has the most potential for establishment and performance. Here are a few:
Naturally Hygroscopic
A key to any successful establishment and early seed development is moisture. NITRO-COAT® is naturally water absorbent and helps attract soil moisture to the seed, getting your stand established quickly.
Fungicide Retention
Fungicides have been proven protectionsagainst diseases like root-rot and pythium. NITRO-COAT® is designed to keep these valuable protectants near the seed through early seedling development.
Available in Organic - OMRI Listed!
If you needs an all-natural,organic coating, look no further. An organic
version of NITRO-COAT® is
available for alfalfas, clovers, and legumes. Our coating has been
reviewed and listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI).
Custom Coating
Our system and expertise allows us to customize NITRO-COAT® coating formulations to fit your needs, without compromise to quality. Whether you need specific colors or certain fungicides, we can design a coating to fit your marketing needs.
