Example

  • Seed encrustment - a variation on pelleting available in the UK which does not aim to produce a fully rounded shape - is used to treat onion and leek seed with pesticides. Pelleting and minipelleting are used in specific crops e.g. sugar beet and some vegetables, to produce seeds of uniform size and shape for precision sowing and to improve application of pesticides.
