SEED COATING WITH MICRONUTRIENTS

Improve early root growth and crop resilience with seed-applied micronutrients

Why Seed Coating?

Seed-applied micronutrients support early root growth and crop resilience by delivering zinc,manganese and copper directly to the seed.


 These nutrients support early growth by:


  • Helping enzymes work efficiently
  • Supporting hormone balance and growth
  • Strengthening early root development


When nutrients are coated onto the seed, they are available right from germination, even in dry or nutrient-poor soils.

Differences observed between treated and untreated seeds:


  • Longer secondary roots, supported by zinc, manganese, and copper
  • Denser root system — soil around roots stays moist and clings more tightly
  • Slightly taller plants at the same growth stage
  • Greener lower leaves — better tolerance to dry conditions

Backed by Data: Real Farm Trials

Proven performance in real farm trials

Our seed-applied micronutrients have been tested across multiple crops and growing conditions. Field trials show clear benefits in early growth and yield.

Practical Advantages for Coating and Handling


Supports early crop growth

Zinc, manganese, and copper help activate growth enzymes and form stronger roots from the start.

Prevents seeds from sticking

No clumping — seeds stay free-flowing for smooth handling and sowing.

Excellent flowability

Works with most seed coating and sowing equipment without clogging.

Mixes easily with other products

Compatible with common seed treatment products and fertiliser coatings.

Easy to apply

Use 2–4 L per 1000 kg of seed — suitable for many crops and machines.

Made in the EU from recycled materials

Micronutrients come from European side streams and are processed under strict quality standards.

 Seed Coating Products

Tracegrow’s micronutrient fertilisers are available as liquid seed coatings. These CE-certified products are easy to apply and compatible with most seed treatment systems.
