Abstract
The present invention is directed to Mycorrhizal seed and in-furrow compositions containing polyethylene glycol. The present invention is further directed to methods of improving plant growth by applying Mycorrhizal seed and in-furrow compositions containing polyethylene glycol 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 66% to about 97% w/w of a polyethylene glycol, 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 75% to about 96% w/w of a polyethylene glycol with an average molecular
- weight from about 200 to about 400 daltons;
- from about 1% to about 3% w/w alkyl quaternary ammonium clay;
- from about 0.5% to about 5% w/w 1,2-propanediol cyclic carbonate;
- 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 74% to about 97% w/w of a polyethylene glycol with an average molecular
- weight from about 100 to about 400 daltons;
- from about 1% to about 3% w/w alkyl quaternary ammonium clay;
- from about 0.5% to about 5% w/w 1,2-propanediol cyclic carbonate;
- and
- from about 0.5% to about 4% w/w polysorbate 20,
- wherein % w/w denotes percent weight by total weight of the composition.
