Could Seed Technology Lead the Fight Against Drought in Farming?

Video: Could Seed Technology Lead the Fight Against Drought in Farming?

Seed is life, but water is the critical component to promoting that potential. As the seed sector navigates more and more extreme weather, ensuring each planted seed has access to adequate moisture is a critical — arguably, the MOST critical — component of early season success. A group of Slovakian scientists has recently introduced to the market a potential solution: a superabsorbent polymer seed coating technology that captures and delivers moisture directly to the seed. The company is PeWaS (aka: Permanent Watering Solutions), and the technology is Aquaholder. How does it work, what kind of difference could it make, and — more broadly — how might seed treatments as a whole change the game for big challenges like drought mitigation? We sat down with PeWaS’s CEO, Ivo Krpelan, to find out. If you're curious about the future of seed technology and sustainable farming, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
