Seed Forms from PanAmerican Seed
Claire Josephson former Marketing Manager
To gain a better understanding of the seed form your order will arrive in, and to learn why some products are offered in a particular seed form, we’ve put together a handy Seed Reference Guide you can download. Meanwhile, here is a quick overview of the quality seed you can expect when you order PanAmerican Seed.
| RAW |
This is seed in its natural form, with no enhancements. |
| DE-TAILED |
The “tail” on a seed has been removed, giving it a smoother shape that is easier to handle. |
| PRIMED |
The germination process has been started and then stopped before the root protrudes through the seed. |
| AMPLIFIED |
Seed is enhanced through a proprietary process for faster and more uniform germination. |
| COATED |
A coating is applied to allow easier handling by the grower and in seeders. |
| TREATED |
Thiram is applied to the seed for disease control and protection against multiple seedborne and soilborne fungi. |
| PELLETED |
Multiple layers of a pelleting material are applied to increase the size and make the seed more spherical. |
| MULTI-SEED PELLET |
The seed undergoes a similar process to pelleted but combines multiple seeds in one pellet. |
| MULTI-SPECIES MULTI-PELLET |
The combining of seeds from multiple species into one pellet, essentially providing a pre-formed mixed container in a pellet. |
| PRECISION™ MULTI-SEED PELLET |
Supplies a precise number of seeds that have been pelleted first and then combined in a multi-seed pellet. |
