The Dormancy Dilemma in Native Land Restoration
In wild ecosystems, seed dormancy is a survival strategy—it allows seeds to wait for the right environmental conditions before germinating. But in the restoration of native and wild landscapes, that delay can stall progress when first-year establishment is critical to outcompeting invasive species.
Seed Dormancy & Restoration: The Downside
50-90% of native plant species produce seeds with some level of physiological dormancy.
In practice, this means that up to 90-95% of sown seeds may fail to germinate in the first year, leading to poor establishment.
These delays create openings for invasive species, increase erosion risk, and often require costly re-seeding efforts—perpetuating an endless cycle that keeps repeating itself.
Restoration projects depend on rapid, reliable seed germination to stabilize soil, outcompete weeds, and build resilient ecosystems, especially in the first growing season. That’s where our coating changes everything.
Estimated Germination Success in Year One
Our Solution.
Combining deep experience in seed biology, restoration ecology, and polymer chemistry, our team developed a patent-pending, time-released gibberellic acid (GA₃) seed coating—the first of its kind in the industry. Our innovation bridges the gap between natural dormancy and restoration urgency, offering a science-backed, field-tested solution that works with native species' biology instead of against it. This solution is not just theoretical, it’s proven.
How it Works
Our seed coating uses a polymer-based delivery system to gradually release gibberellic acid (GA₃)—a naturally occurring plant hormone known to stimulate germination and bypass dormancy signals.
As the polymer degrades in the soil, GA₃ is released slowly over time.
This timed release ensures that seeds receive GA₃ exactly when they need it, maximizing the chances of germination even under challenging conditions.
The coating also helps support deeper seedling emergence, allowing seeds to be planted at depths where moisture retention is higher and temperature swings are less extreme.
Why It Matters
Breaks physiological dormancy for first-season germination
Enhances emergence from deeper planting depths
Reduces seed loss, reseeding costs, and erosion risk
Helps native species outcompete invasive weeds
Improves long-term ecosystem stability
Time-Released GA₃ Seed Coating
Whether restoring fire-impacted areas, supporting native pollinators, or reestablishing vegetation in dry or degraded landscapes, our technology is engineered to help native plants take hold when it matters most.
