ABSTRACT
In seed technology seed pelleting is a most useful technique for increasing the size of small seeds, and encapsulating them to make bigger, rounder, smoother, and more uniformly-sized seeds. It is a coating technique that is used for handling of small seeded crops and increases precision planting. It not only improve the seed quality but also reduce the seed rate and reduce the deterioration during the storage specially in vegetable crops. The present review is an attempt to summarize the prospects of seed pelleting to improve seed quality.
