  Tropical Seed Dependent on the species

The caryopses are pelleted with a protective coat, to provide insulation against insect attack, climatic conditions during storage as well as providing increased planting properties.

Legumes that are treated with the Envirogro® pelleted seed technology are treated with their specific Rhizobium.

 Envirogro® is a process specifically designed for tropical and sub tropical pasture seeds that removes the seed kernel from the hust of the bare seed to reduce seed week, inert matter and immature seed resulting in better quality pasture seed for Australian farmers.

AusWest Seeds have a range of Envirogro® tropical and sub tropical seeds available.
