SeedShield has set the standard for innovative and professional mobile seed grading and treatment. We remove the need to transport grain to a processing plant, saving you time, effort and money.
Our partnership with Nutrien Ag Solutions means you have access to the best seed treatment products and agronomic advice.
SeedShield provides a comprehensive, mobile clean grading and treating process. The grading process cleans seed from any foreign material such as weeds, husk, straw and organic dust. Using a series of screens, the process also removes small seed. This is important as large seed have been shown to be healthier and perform better through the germination and seed emergence stages leading to improved crop yields.
In the seed grading process, it is important to apply a seed treatment for disease and insect protection. This will provide the best potential for a high quality and high yielding crop. The use of seed treatment will provide protection for: soil diseases, foliar and root diseases, seed diseases, and blackleg in canola.

High quality seed for sowing
Quality control is an important part of the SeedShield grading and treatment process. There is proven correlation between quality of seed (size and treatment coverage) and the establishment of healthy plants. Often, when you have a larger seed of any grain variety, they develop into stronger seedlings that have greater yield potential.
So, good seed grading and seed treatment can improve results from one season to the next.
Clean seed, better treatment
Testing of grain samples processed by SeedShield have indicated that dust is removed to below the industry standard and seed treatment coverage is above industry accepted standard.
These grain samples show the results of our grading and treating. In this lab sample, dust has been removed from seed to below the industry standard of 4g/100kg. The reduced dust and other inert material has improved the seed treatment coverage score to a minimum of 3, above the industry standard of 1 to 2.
