This document discusses techniques for seed coating and pelleting to improve seed vigor and crop establishment. Seed coating involves applying a thin substance to the seed coat to enhance germination without changing the seed shape. Pelleting encloses seeds in a small quantity of inert material to facilitate precision planting and provide nutrients. Specific benefits include more even application of nutrients or chemicals, less waste, easier planting, and improved seedling emergence, stands, and weed control. Common coating and pelleting materials include gums, polymers, clays, and limestone.

1.
2. Technique to improve the vigour of seed.
This involves biological, physical and chemical
agents to seeds and plants and improve the
establishment of healthy crops.
3. Problamatic seed.
High value of seed
Specific planting technique.
Biotic Stressess.
Direct seeding.
Adverse climate conditions.
4. Application of coating substance to the seed to enhance
seed performance without altering shape .
Also placing chemicals on seed coat which regulate
and improve germination.
5. Seed Coating:
Coating applied to seed without obscuring its shape.
Seed enhancement material is directly placed on the
seed .
Film Coating:
Process of applying precise amount of active
ingredients in form of thin film along with liquid .
6. Even dose and avoids wastage.
Appearance and dust free handling.
Direct application.
Easy Automatic seeding.
7. Process of enclosing a seed with a small quantity of
inert material just large enough to facilitate precision
planting.
Inert materials helps in natural water holding media
and provide small amount of nutrients to the younger
seedlings.
10. Reduced Seed Rate.
Early emergence reduced.
Better Nursery Management.
Field stand and uniformity.
Minimum exposure to toxicant.
Helps seedlings to dominate weeds.
