Coated seeds
Pelleted seeds (or pill seeds) are the standard format for precision mechanical sowing in professional agriculture and nursery production. The clay or inert-material coating gives the seeds a regular spherical shape, making them compatible with single-seed precision seeders.
In this collection you will find professional pill seeds, including Batavia lettuce varieties such as Albachiara and Albascura, baby leaf varieties available in pelleted seed format for professional IV-range production.
Seeds are available in organic and/or conventional versions, depending on the variety. Specific availability is indicated on each product page.
PILL SEEDS: TECHNOLOGY AND ADVANTAGES
Pelleted seeds (also known as coated seeds or pill seeds) were developed to meet the precision requirements of modern mechanical sowing. Thanks to the inert-material coating, seeds — often very small and irregular in shape — acquire a standardized spherical form that makes them suitable for single-seed vacuum seeders. The result is uniform distribution, even germination, and a drastic reduction in manual thinning operations.
PELLETED LETTUCE SEEDS FOR BABY LEAF AND FOURTH-RANGE PRODUCTION
Among the most requested products in this category are Batavia lettuce varieties such as Albachiara and Albascura, selected for professional baby leaf and fourth-range salad production. Available as professional pill seeds for sowing in plug trays: one seed per cell for maximum crop uniformity.
OTHER CROPS AVAILABLE IN PELLETED FORMAT
The range of pill seeds also includes rocket, chicory, spinach, and other fine-seeded species — all crops where pelleting is especially valuable due to the high sowing density required in professional production.
