Pelleted seed refers to seeds that have been coated with a layer of material, usually a mixture of clay, nutrients, and other additives, to form a small pellet around each seed. This process helps improve seed handling, planting accuracy, and germination rates by providing a uniform size and protecting the seed from pests and environmental factors. Pelleted seeds are often used in commercial agriculture and gardening to facilitate easier planting and enhance seedling establishment.
