Description
VNS stands for Variety Not Stated, meaning the seed package contains generic chicory rather than a specific named cultivar. A coated chicory seed has a clay or polymer layer added to increase seed weight for easier, more accurate planting and often includes treatments like beneficial inoculants or fungicides to improve germination rates.
