01 · THE CUSTOMER PROBLEM
Seed treatments must deliver uniform coverage and early-stage benefit without reducing germination, flowability or storage stability.
A biodegradable chitosan film can retain selected actives on the seed surface and be optimized around germination and early vigor.
Thin chitosan coatings for seed-surface protection, active delivery and early-stage plant development research.
02 · RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT
Start with the material designed for the decision.
Chitosan can form a biodegradable film around seed, carry complementary actives and be screened for effects on germination and early vigor.
Without the shell
Controlled fungal sourcing supports a traceable, non-animal supply strategy.
Specification engineered
MW, DDA, purity, charge density and format are selected around the target result.
Application ready
Powder is only the starting point; Mykito also develops films, fibers, gels, coatings and formulations.
One technical partner
Material selection, formulation support and the validation plan are connected from the first sample.
03 · PERFORMANCE TARGETS
Build toward outcomes a buyer can measure.
Seed coating
Seed coating can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished seed treatment system.
Active retention
Active retention can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished seed treatment system.
Early-stage plant response
Early-stage plant response can be developed by matching the chitosan specification, dose and application-ready format to the finished seed treatment system.
04 · GO / NO-GO CRITERIA
Define the evidence before testing begins.
The first program is designed around three decision-making outputs—not an open-ended material trial.
Germination and vigor
Coating uniformity and flowability
Storage stability and crop-specific efficacy
05 · FROM SAMPLE TO DECISION
A practical application program,
not a bag of powder.
Define
Agree on the function, baseline, constraints and measurable success criteria.
Screen
Select the MW, DDA, purity, dose and physical format that fit the application.
Validate
Test the winning system in the finished formulation, device, process or use environment.
Recommended first request: A seed-coating grade with germination and flowability screening guidance.

Elicitor signaling + surface retention
Selected grades can be evaluated for plant-defense signaling, while films, particles and coatings retain chitosan or complementary inputs on seed, foliage, produce or soil interfaces.
There is no universal concentration. Grade and dose are screened against pH, interacting ingredients, process conditions and the target performance profile.
Crop response, phytotoxicity, compatibility, field performance, dose economics and registration pathway are evaluated for the intended use.
