Seed Cleaning
Aquatic Plants of Florida, Inc. provides customers with a timely, cost-effective solution for their projects by cleaning native plant seed required for annual propagation in our greenhouses. We do not sell seed.
Aquatic Plants of Florida, Inc., is located in Sarasota and Manatee Counties, FL, and utilizes advanced equipment specifically designed for commercial seed cleaning, without causing production delays.
Clean seed is essential for use in today’s mechanized liner seeding machines, which are prone to clogging from hull and chaff contaminants, a result of threshing.
Our labeled, vacuum packaging ensures clean seeds are ready on-demand, for growing any season of the year, at our facilities.
We store seed in our commercial refrigeration system, which is supported by a diesel powered back-up generator for system integrity.
We are dedicated to working with our customers to provide an ongoing supply of plants, to suit their project needs.
Our seed cleaning process involves:
- Testing
- Seed drying
- Cleaning
- Packaging
- Germinating
