Abstract
Coating compositions for cotton plant seed, wherein the coating composition comprises an organic carrier material and one or more biological agents that are active against one or more pathogens cotton plant.
Claims13
A cotton seed product form comprising:
- i) a coating composition in powder form, wherein said 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 cotton plant;
- and
- ii) a cotton seed,
- wherein said cotton seed is coated with the composition of i).
A method of coating cotton seed with a coating composition that consists of an organic carrier material in the form of an organic wax having a melting point of ≥ 50° Centigrade, wherein the organic wax is in dry particulate form and the wax particles have a volume mean diameter of ≥ 5 μm, and a biological agent that has an activity against a cotton 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, mixing the two together and applying the resulting composition to cotton seeds.
A cotton seed product form comprising:
- i) a coating composition in powder form, wherein said coating composition is consisting 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 cotton plant;
- and
- ii) a cotton seed,
- wherein said cotton seed is coated with the composition of i).
