Agricultural films such as polytunnels and greenhouse coverings are used to provide a higher humidity and to protect crops from intense focused heat, harsh sunlight and strong winds. We provide anti-fog additives that allow condensed water droplets to spread into a thin continuous layer of water over these films, which in turn improves sunlight transmission. This results in an enhancement in crop protection and encourages higher plant growth rates and higher crop yields.

A way of improving crop yields is to enhance the quality of the seed that is being planted. This can be done by protecting and stimulating them during early development to ensure optimum emergence and give the crop the best chance of reaching its full genetic yield potential.

Processes such as seed priming, upgrading, disinfection, pelleting, encrusting and film coating can do just that, as well as application of crop protection products and nutrients directly to the seed prior to planting. This direct seed application is a sustainable way of delivering protection and nutrition as it considerably reduces the amount of substance needed.
