The invention relates to an active-ingredient-containing pellet comprising an inert core and at least one active ingredient, wherein said active ingredient is advantageous for a plant seed or a plant. The invention also relates to a seed-containing pellet and a method for improving the germination of a seed-containing pellet.
1 . Method for the protection of germinating seed coated with a pesticide, characterized in that seed-containing pellets and pesticide-containing pellets are sown as individual pellets at the same time.
2 . Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the pesticide-containing pellets have substantially the same shape and size as the seed-containing pellets.
3 . Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the pesticide-containing pellets comprise a dosis of pesticide that is sufficient for one seed germ.
4 . Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the pesticide-containing pellets contain a filler material.
5 . Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the pesticide-containing pellets and the seed-containing pellets have a substantially uniform diameter ranging from 0.5-5 mm.
6 . Pesticide-containing pellet to be used in combination with a seed-containing pellet.
7 . An active-ingredient-containing pellet comprising an inert core and at least one active ingredient, wherein said active ingredient is advantageous for a plant seed or a plant.
8 . An active-ingredient-containing pellet according to claim 7 , wherein said active ingredient is phytotoxic for a plant seed.
9 . An active-ingredient-containing pellet comprising a biodegradable core and at least one active ingredient, wherein said active ingredient is advantageous for a plant seed or a plant.
10 . A seed-containing pellet comprising a seed, a coating and at least one active ingredient, which active ingredient is present in an amount of 0.1-50%, more preferably 0.1-25% or even more preferably 0.1-10% of the total effective amount.
11 . A seed-containing pellet according to claim 10 , wherein said active ingredient is an insecticide.
12 . A seed-containing pellet comprising a seed, a coating and at least one active ingredient, which active ingredient is present in an amount of 1-100 % preferably 50-100% or even more preferably 100% of the total effective amount.
13 . A seed-containing pellet according to claim 12 , wherein said active ingredient is a fungicide.
14 . An active-ingredient-containing pellet comprising an inert core and at least one active ingredient, wherein said active ingredient is advantageous for a plant seed or a seed-containing pellet according to claim 10 , further comprising at least one component capable of regulating the release of said at least one active ingredient.
15 . A method for improving the germination of a seed-containing pellet, comprising applying 1 to 10 active-ingredient-containing pellets with at least one seed containing pellet to soil.
16 . A method for improving the germination of a seed-containing pellet, comprising applying at least one active-ingredient-containing pellet with at least 1 to 10 seed-containing pellets.
17 . A method according to claim 15 , wherein said seed-containing pellet is a multiseed.
18 . A method according to claim 15 , wherein at least part of the active-ingredient-containing pellets is applied after applying a seed-containing pellet.
19 . A method according to claim 15 , wherein an active-ingredient-containing pellet is applied on top of the soil.
20 . A method according to claim 15 , wherein said active-ingredient-containing pellet is an active-ingredient pellet comprising an inert core and at least one active ingredient, wherein said active ingredient is advantageous for a plant seed or a plant.
