Fuente: WIPO "tomato" A novel seed coating composition. Said coating comprising wax emulsion, polymeric binder, fibrous material, and filler with bulk density from 0.05 to 0.80 g/mL. In particular, the coating is selected from polyethylene or Fischer Tropsch wax emulsions, polyvinyl based binders, talc, and cellulose fibres. The seed coating composition when applied to a seed provides water permeability, good abrasion resistance, low dust emissions, short drying time, good flow ability and plant ability, low clumping, good cosmetics and/or coverage, higher capacity for adding increased numbers of desirable nutrients and seed and plant protectants, and/or increased seed size for plantability. There is also provided the use of said seed coating composition for coating seeds, a method of formed a coated seed using said composition, and the resulting coated seed.
