Examples include Tomato and New Guinea Impatiens.
De-Tailed:
De-tailed seeds have the tail removed for easier handling and are commonly
used with Marigolds.

Using Instructions
-
RAW
This is seed in its natural form, with no enhancements. Examples include Tomato and New Guinea Impatiens. -
DE-TAILED
The “tail” on a seed can interfere with an automatic seed-sowing machine. By removing the tail, the seed has a smoother shape that is easier to handle. De- tailed seed is most often used with Marigolds. -
PRIMED
Primed seed has had the germination process started, but it is stopped before the root protrudes through the seed; the seed is then dried down. Primed seed has more uniform growth and will germinate under a wide range of conditions. Examples include Pansy, Viola and Coreopsis. -
AMPLIFIED
Seed that is enhanced through a proprietary process, resulting in faster and more uniform germination compared to non-enhanced seed. Examples include Echinacea. -
COATED
Seed is enhanced through a specific proprietary process in which a coating is applied to allow easier handling by the grower and in seeders. This is sometimes referred to as a “film coat” or a “slick coat”. Examples include Beacon® Impatiens. -
TREATED
Thiram is applied to the seed for disease control and protection against multiple seedborne and soilborne fungi. The seed is sealed, has no shape or size change, and no dust rubs off. -
PELLETED
Pelleted seed has been enhanced through a proprietary process where multiple layers of a pelleting material are applied to increase the size and make the seed more spherical. This improves visibility and makes seeder pickup easier. Examples include Petunia and Begonia. -
MULTI-SEED PELLET AND MULTI-SPECIES MULTI-PELLET
Multi-Seed Pellet – The seed undergoes a similar process to pelleted but combines multiple seeds in one pellet. An example of this is Alyssum. Multi- Species Multi-Pellet – The combining of seeds from multiple species into one pellet, essentially providing a pre-formed mixed container in a pellet. Examples include Fuseables® and SimplySalad®. -
PRECISION™ MULTI-SEED PELLET
This form (from PanAmerican seed) is offered when they want to supply a precise number of seeds in a multi-seed pellet. Each seed is pelleted first, then combined with others into a larger pellet. When the PMPL form is used for multi-species combinations, we can ensure that a precise number of seeds of each variety of the mix is in every PMPL. Examples include Fuseables®.
