Technically prepared seed
In addition to normal seed, we offer various technically prepared seed forms for easier sowing and plant raising or better and more even germination. Normal seedThe seed is cleaned and tested to meet all legal requirements as well as our own high quality standards. Precision seedThe seed has a higher germination capacity than normal seed. The minimum germination rate for precision seed is set according to variety. Precision seed is not available in portion bags. Calibrated seedFor a good and precise single grain seeding, the seeds are sorted according to size (calibrated). We generally offer three sizes of seed S (small), M (medium) and L (large). Primed organic seedsSeed priming or pre-germination is a valuable method for accelerating germination and ensuring more uniform seed sprouting. The aim of priming is to optimise seed performance, in particular its readiness to germinate and the early development of plants, under all growing conditions (even under suboptimal growing conditions). Priming is also partially applied in the production of pelleted seeds. This is necessary if the pelleted seeds require a light stimulus for germination, which can no longer reach them inside the pill. This stimulus is then introduced during priming and is therefore no longer required after sowing. The Bingenheimer Saatgut AG collaborates with a company that is fully certified for this process in accordance with EU organic guidelines and has many years of experience in priming and pelleting seeds. Pelleted seeds from our rangeThe seeds are surrounded by a clay-based coating, giving each seed a uniform shape and size, which makes them ideal for single-seed sowing. The coating material is, of course, free from pesticides and complies with the Regulation (EU) 2018/848. In addition to single-seed clay-coated pellets, multipellets containing several seeds per pellet are also produced. Multipellets are particularly suitable for crops where clump sowing is beneficial, such as rocket (arugula). Seed strips/plates/discs/tapeSeed is laid out at defined distances between two sheets of special paper. Among other products, we offer seed plates for the professional cultivation of leeks and various seed discs for potted herb cultivation. Portion bagThere are portion bags of each variety suitable for the home gardens. Non-calibrated seeds are bagged. The content is sufficient for the common amateur gardener’s needs. The price list indicates the approximate growing area or number of plants to be expected from a portion bag for each variety. |
