Abstract
Binders are one component of seed coating. They play a role of binding seeds and materials for pelleting which results in complete pelleting seeds. Successful seed pelleting requires understanding of primary properties of each type of binders. In general, there are two types of binders which are water soluble binder substances and binder substances soluble under pH conditions. Each type of binder substance is applied in seed pelleting for different purposes. There are absolute, mixed, and commercial binder substances available in the seed industry. Despite a wide variety of binding substances, what should be taken into consideration is selecting the type of binder substances appropriate for the type of seeds and pelleting materials for the successful seed pelleting. Therefore, in order to offer more alternatives to guidelines for selecting the right binder substance and to provide the general body of knowledge related to binder substances, this article presents common types of binder substances, how to select binder substances appropriate for seed pelleting, common properties and the utilization of binder substances, properties of the active ingredients, and characteristics of quality inspection of binder substances after being coated around the seeds.
