METHOD FOR COATING SEEDS

Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
The present invention relates to a a method for coating seeds comprising: i) providing a seed coating composition comprising, on dry weight basis, from 2 to 70% by weight (wt %) of a polymer obtained by polymerization of: a) from 0 to 50% by weight of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer selected among styrene or substituted styrene, b) from 10 to 70% by weight of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer selected among C1-C10-alkyl (meth)acrylates or cycloalkyl (meth)acrylates, c) from 0 to 50% by weight of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer different from a) and b), in the presence of d) from 30 to 90% by weight of a polysaccharide having a molecular weight Mn of 500 to 30,000 Da, wherein the percentage amounts of a), b), c) and d) are referred to the sum of a)+b)+c)+d); ii) applying said seed coating composition onto seeds.
