Abstract
Coating composition for applying to soybean seed from which roots and shoots are capable of growing, wherein the said coating composition comprises one or more organic materials having a melting point of ≥50° Centigrade and one or more additives, methods of making such compositions and coated soybean seeds.
Claims6
A coating composition for effective application to and retention on soybean seed as a dry powder, consisting of:
- particles, said particles consisting essentially of:
- i) at least one organic material selected from waxes having a melting point of >50° C., wherein the wax is in the form of particles having a volume mean diameter in the range of 5 μm to 200 μm;
- and
- ii) at least one additive for enhancing seedling vigour and/or seedling growth from soybean seeds wherein the at least one additive is selected from one or more inorganic additives and/or one or more live biological agents,
- wherein said particles adhere to said soybean seed by electrostatic charge without the use of a binder between said particles and soybean seed.

A dry powder coating composition for effective application to and retention on soybean seed without the use of a binder between the powder and seed, said dry powder consisting of:
- a plurality of dry particles, each said particles consisting essentially of:
- at least one organic material selected from waxes having a melting point of ≥50° C., wherein the wax is in the form of particles having a volume mean diameter in the range of 5 μm to 200 μm;
- at least one additive for enhancing seedling vigour and/or seedling growth from soybean seeds wherein the at least one additive is selected from one or more inorganic additives and/or one or more live biological agents;
- and
- an electrostatic charge operative to adhere the dry particles to the soybean seed.
