Biological Seed Treatment for Corn

First-of-its-kind biological solution using Natamycin, a naturally occurring biological molecule produced by soil bacteria that prevents soil-borne fungi from attacking plant roots.

CeraMax stimulates defensive capabilities in the seed immediately. It activates defensive pathways prior to fungal infection, enabling the plant to utilize its genetic resistance and prepare for disease threats proactively.

Unlike synthetic seed treatments, CeraMax delivers powerful early protection without harming beneficial soil microbes, and promotes biostimulant-like benefits for root/shoot development, plant growth, and resilience to abiotic stresses.
