Polymeric Seed Coats

Introduction

Azadirchtin based Polymeric Seed Coats, dressing materials have been developed for seed protection. Such seed coats act as a barrier to moisture, reduce proliferation of storage fungi and prevent deterioration of seeds during storage powder or flowable slurry improve storability, germination, viability, plantability of seed and/or vigor of plant under Indian Patent application 1746/DEL/2006.

 

Features

Seed coats based on botanical pesticide will help in:

•  Improving germination, viability, plantability of a seed.

•  Vigour of an agronomic plant that is grown from a treated seed that is planted in a pest infested location.

•  Preventing the fungal/nematode/insect infestation that is a pest for the agronomic plant and against which a meliacin compound has bioactivity

 

Advantages

 

• Improves the efficiency of the production products, allowing on excellent covering and adhesion of the active ingredients on the seed.

•  Improve the sowing process.

•  Improves the safety in the use when creating a barrier between the skin of the operator and the product, eliminating the dangers related with the treatment, packing and sowing of the seed.

•  Reduces the dust of the products.

•  Provides a way of carrying fungicides, pesticides, biological products and micronutrients.

•  Bitter retention of the treatment strong. Adherence to the surface of the seed, leaving fewer pesticides residues.

•  Protects the seed against mechanical damages.

•  Helps to protect seeds stored under conditions of high moisture.

•  Improves the appearance of the seed, with attractive colours that can identify.
