Baker Seed Co. have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and expertise over time surrounding seed enhancements and coating technologies.

In 2012, Ashley Fraser (General Manager of Baker Seed Co.) received a Nuffield Scholarship sponsored by the GRDC. Ashley studied seed coating and how it can both protect and enhance crop growth. He travelled to Canada, USA and Europe visiting research facilities and manufacturers of coating equipment, coating materials, powder manufacturers and chemistry experts.

Ashley believes continued research into seed coating technologies could result in targeted insect controls, fungicide control, better water harvesting properties, biological enhancement through species targeted rhizobia and more.
