The presentation will showcases Verdesian Life Sciences and its pioneering Seed Emergence, Enhancement & Establishment Technology (SEEET), designed to transform seed treatment and boost agricultural productivity. The focus is on delivering nutritional vaccination for seeds, which enhances germination, seedling vigor, and overall plant health from the earliest stages.
With a strong legacy in India since 1984, Verdesian integrates MAC Technology (Metabolic Active Compounds) to improve nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and crop performance. Products like Seed100CL, SDM, and Take Off ST have demonstrated significant benefits across crops such as wheat, rice, corn, bitter gourd, cumin, and soybean.
Key outcomes from trials include:
The technology is easy to apply, cost-effective, and compatible with existing agrochemical practices, making it a valuable solution for seed companies and growers aiming for sustainable and profitable agriculture.
