Innovating Microplastic-Free Seed Coating
In the pursuit of a climate-smart agri-food system, Lucent Bio is leading the way with Nutreos, a non-toxic, plant-based, biodegradable micronutrient seed coating that delivers strong germination, vigour and crop establishment without microplastics. As global concerns heighten over the use of plastics in traditional seed coatings, their impact on the environment, and the risks to consumer health, Lucent Bio is introducing our solution, Nutreos.
The Microplastic Predicament
Microplastics are minuscule particles under 5 mm in size, which pose a significant environmental concern. Microplastics enter agri-food systems through various means, including the breakdown of conventional plastics used as seed and fertilizer coatings. These particles have been detected in diverse environments—air, water, soil, and even within the human body. Their slow degradation threatens soil properties, plant growth, the delicate balance of ecosystems, and even human health. Studies have indicated their presence alters soil quality and adversely affects the health of microbial communities and wildlife.
Nutreos, Driving Sustainable Crop Nutrition Differently
Nutreos redefines seed treatment by delivering essential nutrition directly to the seed without the use of conventional plastic coatings or binders. This ensures that crops receive the nourishment they need right from the start, resulting in robust germination, early vigour, and overall crop health. Notably, Nutreos promotes soil biodiversity, ensuring a healthier soil ecosystem for sustainable, year-over-year success.
Sustainability and Compliance
While Anticipating forthcoming regulatory changes and addressing the environmental impact of microplastics, Nutreos stands ahead of the curve as an innovative and environmentally responsible solution. By aligning modern agriculture practices, promoting sustainability, and complying with impending environmental regulations, Nutreos offers growers a solution without sacrificing yield or profitability.
