Invention Title

System and Method for Biodegradable Seed Encapsulation with Controlled Release

The Concept

A revolutionary planting method where each seed is housed in a biodegradable capsule containing a binder, precise additives, and the seed itself—creating a "greenhouse in a pill."

The Result

Protects the seed, provides ideal moisture, and releases nutrients on a specific schedule, resulting in faster, uniform germination and higher yields.

Biodegradable Seed Capsule with Self-Contained Micro-Environment

Self-Contained Micro-Environment

Each seed is enclosed in a biodegradable capsule that creates a controlled environment underground. The seed stays protected while the capsule manages moisture and shields it from stress.

Targeted Water & Nutrient Delivery

Each seed is enclosed in a biodegradable capsule that creates a controlled environment underground. The seed stays protected while the capsule manages moisture and shields it from stress.

Stronger, More Reliable Germination
 

By separating the seed from harsh chemistry and delivering inputs directly at the root zone, the system produces faster, more uniform germination and higher yields. A pollen-filled variant also supports self-pollination where pollinators are limited.

Our Patent Portfolio

A SYSTEM, A METHOD, AND NOW FULLY AUTOMATED PRODUCTION

Klondike’s KAPSOL™ Platform is now protected across the entire system—covering the biodegradable capsule, the method for encapsulating seed with binders and growing materials, and the fully automated machine that fills, seeds, seals, and quality-checks every unit at industrial speed—creating a complete, defensible ecosystem around our seed-in-capsule technology.

PATENTED PLATFORM

Klondike now holds four issued U.S. patents covering the KAPSOL™ system, its encapsulation method, and the proprietary automation that makes large-scale production possible.
