Abstract
Coating composition for soya bean seed from which roots and shoots are capable of growing, wherein the coating composition comprises an organic carrier material and one or more biological agents that possess an activity against at least one or more pathogens of the soybean plant.
Claims21
A soybean seed product form comprising:
- i) a coating composition in powder form, the coating composition is 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 pathogen of a soybean plant;
- and
- ii) a soybean seed,
- wherein the soybean seed is coated with the composition of i).
A method of coating soybean seed with a coating composition that consists of an organic carrier material in the form of particles of wax having a volume mean diameter of ≥5 μm, wherein the wax is selected from waxes having a melting point of ≥50° Centigrade, and a biological agent that has an activity against a soya bean plant pathogen selected from a fungal pathogen, a bacterial pathogen and an arthropod pathogen, the method comprising adding the biological agent to the organic carrier material, wherein the organic carrier material is in a dry particulate form, mixing the two together and applying the resulting composition to soybean seeds.
A soybean seed product form comprising:
- i) a coating composition in powder form, the coating composition is consisting essentially of:
- (1) particles consisting 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 pathogen of a soybean plant;
- and
- ii) a soybean seed,
- wherein the soybean seed is coated with the composition of i).
