Elsom Seeds awarded ESTA accreditation

The European Seed Treatment Association (ESTA) accreditation has been awarded to Elsom Seeds, following the successful audit of Elsoms seed treatment facilities and procedures by PAI Ltd,. This is a major achievement for Elsoms, and comes on the back of major investments in facilities and personnel in the seed treatment facilities at the Spalding site.

ESTA certification is the QA scheme for the application of plant protection products to seed, handling and use of treated seed to ensure that seed treatments are applied to the highest quality standards by professional treaters.

Elsoms have been treating seed for over 30 years and recent investments in seed treatment machinery, including two RDC (Rotary Dry Coater machines), allows use of the latest in seed technology and processing to bring customers the highest quality seed products available.

Only ESTA certified treatment facilities may use the ESTA logo on their products to document compliance and facilitate the free movement of treated seed throughout the European Union. Elsoms will shortly be introducing the ESTA logo onto their seed packaging.

This accreditation is a great achievement for Elsoms and another step forward in furthering the seed treatment business.
