A method of controlling the flowability of plant seeds by placing the plant seeds of a mass of seeds in contact with dry free flowing particles of a flowability enhancing agent that is made up of at least one species of electret particle made up of a wax, wherein the electret particle adheres more firmly to the plant seeds than do particles that comprise a dry free flowing substance that is or includes a mineral earth component.
A method of controlling dust drift from a population of plant seeds by placing the plant seeds of a mass of seeds in contact with dry free flowing particles of a flowability enhancement agent made up of electret particles made of a wax that adheres more firmly to plant seeds than a dry particulate compound or composition that is a flowability enhancement agent that comprises a dry free flowing substance that is a mineral earth or includes a mineral earth component.
