The only superabsorbent made specifically for agriculture
AquaVantage® works like millions of tiny water reservoirs in the soil, holding moisture that plant roots can readily extract.
Then, AquaVantage® granules recharge when new moisture is added to the soil. This cycle repeats for up to a year.
Benefits include:
- More efficient use of irrigation
- Added efficacy of chemicals
- More days before wilt
- Proven crop quality increases
- Proven crop quantity increases
Mllions of tiny
moisture reservoirs in

SEED COATING
SEED COATING
APPLICATION METHOD AND RATES
Placement directly on the seed in the form of a seed coating helps ensure moisture in the soil at seeding will first be used for uniform germination and emergence of the stand.
Use a layering process. For more information in addition to the examples below, please contact us. You will speak directly with our manufacturing specialist to assist with technical issues related to using AquaVantage® for best effect for seed coating with this remarkable new generation superabsorbent.
SEED COAT APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Vegetable Seed per 50 lb (22.68 kg)
Apply 1 lb (.45 kg) AV 200
Typically filler at 20% of the raw seed weight is used for vegetable seed, depending on seed size.
The result would be 50 lb (22.68 kg) raw seed with 10 lb (4.54 kg) talc filler and 1 lb (.45 kg) AV 200
Wheat Seed per 50 lb (22.68 kg)
Use 1 lb (.45 kg) AV 200
Typically no filler is used for wheat seed
Alfalfa Seed (Lucerne), per 50 lb (22.68 kg)
Use 1 lb (.45 kg) AV 200
Typically 33% talc filler
Grass Seed per 50 lb (22.68 kg)
Apply 1 lb (.45 kg) AV 200
Example of use in a coating ratio, for (1) 50 lb (22.68 kg) bag of seed
In US measurements, if a 1/1 ratio of seed to coating (or 50% coating by volume) is desired, use 1 lb (.45 kg) AV 200 and 49 lbs (22 kg) talc to formulate the coating.
The result will be 50 lbs (22.68 kg) of seed coated with 50 lbs (22.68 kg) of coating, including 1 lb (.45 kg) of AquaVantage per 50 lb (22.68 kg) bag of seed.
