Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of an agglomerated/granulated mulch product as a seed carrier that is produced by an agglomeration technology. The mulch agglomerates used as a carrier for the seeds reduces segregation (unmixing) tendencies of seeds from the carrier product.
Claims19
A mulch product, comprised of mulch agglomerates wherein
- said mulch agglomerates are produced by an agglomeration process;
- said agglomeration process uses a tumble/agitative agglomeration technology;
- wherein the mulch product is a carrier for seeds;
- said seeds staying suspended substantially uniformly throughout said carrier while in a package.
A mulch product, comprised of mulch agglomerates wherein said mulch agglomerates are produced by an agglomeration process;
- said agglomeration process uses indurance technology;
- wherein the mulch product is a carrier for seeds;
- wherein said agglomerates possess interlocking properties consisting of said mulch product having hook-type projections;
- said seeds staying suspended substantially uniformly throughout said carrier while in a package.
A mulch product, comprised of mulch agglomerates wherein said mulch agglomerates are produced by an agglomeration process;
- said agglomeration process uses agglomeration by heat, spray solidification, direct capillary action and/or coating techniques;
- wherein the mulch product is a carrier for seeds;
- wherein said agglomerates possess interlocking properties consisting of said mulch product having hook-type projections;
- said seeds staying suspended substantially uniformly throughout said carrier while in a package.
A mulch product comprising agglomerates produced by an agglomeration process wherein said agglomerates:
- are small enough to resist segregation;
- and
- are asymmetrical and possess interlocking properties;
- said interlocking properties consisting of said mulch product having hook-type projections;
- said mulch product is a carrier for seeds;
- said agglomerates keening seeds suspended substantially uniformly throughout said carrier while in a package.
