Exclusively for the organic sector, Bejo Zaden has developed a new organic ‘colour coating’.
The suspension used for the white coating is accepted according to EU and NOP organic regulations for application in our organic operation.
With this new ‘colour coating’ Bejo is addressing an important problem that is faced by organic growers; the difficulty of finding the naturally brown or black coloured seeds in the soil after sowing and not being to be able to check drill depth and sowing rates. The new white film coating will also smooth the seeds, and therefore makes drilling easier with modern pneumatic sowing machines.
Last season Bejo started a pilot to deliver seed with this white colour coating. For spring sowing 2008 most carrot, onion and red beet seeds for the organic grower will have the unique white colour film coating.
