Abstract
The present invention is directed to Mycorrhizal seed and in-furrow compositions containing paraffinic oil. The present invention is further directed to methods of improving plant growth by applying Mycorrhizal seed treatment and in-furrow compositions containing a paraffinic oil to a plant, plant propagation material, or an area where a plant will grow.
Claims20
A plant growth composition comprising from about 0.2% to about 20% w/w Mycorrhizae technical powder concentrate and from about 65% to about 97% w/w of a paraffinic oil, wherein % w/w denotes percent weight by total weight of the composition.
A seed treatment composition comprising:
- from about 2% to about 11% w/w Mycorrhizae technical powder concentrate;
- from about 74% to about 94% w/w of a paraffinic oil;
- from about 2.5% to about 7.5% w/w of a surfactant comprising polyol fatty acid esters and polyethoxylated derivatives thereof;
- from about 1.2% to about 3% w/w quaternium 18 hectorite;
- and
- from about 0% to about 4% w/w polysorbate 20,
- wherein % w/w denotes percent weight by total weight of the composition.
An in-furrow composition comprising:
- from about 0.2% to about 8% w/w Mycorrhizae technical powder concentrate;
- from about 83% to about 95% w/w of a paraffinic oil;
- from about 2.5% to about 7.5% w/w of a surfactant comprising polyol fatty acid esters and polyethoxylated derivatives thereof;
- from about 1.2% to about 3% w/w quaternium 18 hectorite;
- and
- from about 0% to about 4% w/w polysorbate 20,
- wherein % w/w denotes percent weight by total weight of the composition.
