Inera’s Seed Treatment R&D: Building Smarter Solutions for Farmers’ Needs

Seeds are the foundation of any crop, yet they encounter multiple threats even before germination. Pests, diseases, unpredictable weather, and soil health challenges all pose risks. Traditional chemical seed treatments provide some protection, but often at the expense of soil health and biodiversity.
To address these challenges, Inera has focused its research and development (R&D) on creating smarter seed treatment solutions that are not only effective but also aligned with long-term sustainability goals.
Biological seed treatments offer a different approach as compared to their chemical counterparts. Instead of merely shielding seeds from threats, they enhance the plant’s natural processes to improve resilience, nutrient uptake, and stress tolerance. This leads to stronger crops, reduced chemical inputs, and a greater capacity to withstand environmental challenges.
Inera’s Seed BioSolutions
Scientists at Inera are working on something new within its seed treatment portfolio. Early development results show improvements in germination rates, plant strength, and resilience to environmental challenges. The product is being improved further, but it could offer farmers a more reliable way to grow healthier crops, particularly in difficult conditions.

Field trials in different climatic zones have been conducted by Inera across a variety of crops with promising outcomes. General trends indicate quantifiable improvements in key performance indicators like root and shoot weight, crop vigor, and overall yield, depending on the crop and environmental conditions.
What stands out is how these treatments utilize novel microbes sourced from extreme geographies that can withstand conditions like drought & stress. At the same time, Inera’s proprietary technologies help them overcome common issues like inconsistent results or short shelf life.
Inera also offers a broader range of products that support farmers beyond seed treatments. Their biofertilizers, biostimulants, biopesticides and specialty nutrients have been tested across diverse environments through Inera’s extensive field trial network, ensuring they work where it matters most: in the field.
As development continues, Inera’s seed treatment solutions are shaping up to be practical and reliable options for farmers seeking to maximize their crop potential.
Farmers participating in demos have provided valuable feedback, noting improvements in crop health, stress tolerance, and yields. This direct input from the farming community plays a crucial role in refining Inera’s products to better meet their needs.
