ULTRA COAT ORANGE is a “fertilizer-type coating” whereby each seed is individually coated with this proprietary fertilizer. For many years, we would use “non-coated” clovers/chicory/brassica and alfalfa varieties and would have about 25% of those seeds actually surviving and making a mature plant. Today, with ULTRA COAT ORANGE seed, we get closer to 50-60% livability of the seeds we plant. After planting, moisture will loosen up the coating and then the seed will have access to moisture AND immediate food (from the ULTRA COAT ORANGE), allowing an almost perfect environment for the young seeds to sprout and thrive.
