Adhering Agents in Maize Seed Pelletizing

The maize very important role in the Brazilian economy because it has a high commercial value, having great production due to its ability adapt different edaphoclimatic conditions. Family farming produces seeds from local varieties, called creole seeds. This type of seed is resistant keeps relevant characteristics left as an inheritance ancestors, who, free charge, performed environmental service for preservation and perpetuation this genetic heritage.
