Abstract
Coating composition for applying to a vegetable plant structure such as a seed of a vegetable plant from which roots and shoots are capable of growing, wherein the said coating composition comprises an organic carrier material in particulate form and one or more biological agents that possess an activity against at least one or more pathogens of the said vegetable plant.
Claims14
A vegetable plant structure product form comprising:
- i) a coating composition in powder form, the coating composition consisting of:
- (1) solid particles made throughout of at least one organic carrier material and having a volume mean diameter of ≥5 μm, wherein the carrier material is selected from waxes having a melting point of ≥50° Centigrade, and
- (2) one or more biological agents that possess an activity against at least one or more pathogens of a vegetable plant;
- and
- ii) a vegetable plant structure,
- wherein said vegetable plant structure is coated with the coating composition of i).
A method of coating a vegetable plant structure with a coating composition that consists of an organic carrier material comprising an organic wax in particulate form selected from waxes having a melting point of ≥50° Centigrade, wherein the particles of wax have a volume mean diameter of ≥5 μm, and a biological agent having an activity against one or more of fungal pathogens, bacterial pathogens and arthropod pathogens, the method comprising adding the biological agent to the organic carrier material, mixing the two together and applying the resulting composition to the vegetable plant structure.
