Abstract

Use of a silicate mineral in a seed coating formulation, a seed coating formulation comprising a silicate mineral, a seed coated with said seed coating formulation and a method of making a coated seed.

Claims (22)

1 . A seed coating formulation comprising a silicate mineral and a binder, wherein the silicate mineral has a Si availability of at least about 3% according to the acid extraction method and/or at least about 1% according to the alkaline extraction method.

2 . The seed coating formulation of claim 1 , wherein the silicate mineral has a Si availability of at least about 5% according to the acid extraction method.

3 . The seed coating formulation of claim 1 , wherein the silicate mineral has a Si availability of at least about 2% according to the alkaline extraction method.

4 . The seed coating formulation of claim 1 , wherein the silicate mineral comprises an inosilicate.

5 . The seed coating formulation of claim 1 , wherein the silicate mineral comprises an alkaline earth metal silicate.

6 . The seed coating formulation of claim 1 , wherein the silicate mineral comprises a calcium silicate.

7 . The seed coating formulation of claim 1 , wherein the seed coating formulation further comprises calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ).

8 . The seed coating formulation of claim 1 , wherein the silicate mineral comprises quartz (SiO 2 ).

9 . The seed coating formulation of claim 1 , wherein the silicate mineral comprises one or more of wollastonite (CaSiO 3 ), mica, diatomite, feldspar and talc.

10 . The seed coating formulation of claim 1 , wherein the silicate mineral has an average particle size ranging from about 5 μm to about 150 μm.

11 . A seed having a coating comprising a silicate mineral and a binder, wherein the silicate mineral has a Si availability of at least about 3% according to the acid extraction method and/or at least about 1% according to the alkaline extraction method.

12 . The seed of claim 11 , wherein the silicate mineral has a Si availability of at least about 5% according to the acid extraction method.

13 . The seed of claim 11 , wherein the silicate mineral has a Si availability of at least about 2% according to the alkaline extraction method.

14 . The seed of claim 11 , wherein the silicate mineral comprises an inosilicate.

15 . The seed of claim 11 , wherein the silicate mineral comprises an alkaline earth metal silicate.

16 . The seed of claim 11 , wherein the silicate mineral comprises a calcium silicate.

17 . The seed of claim 11 , wherein the seed coating further comprises calcium carboante (CaCO 3 ).

18 . The seed of claim 11 , wherein the silicate mineral comprises quartz (SiO 2 ) and/or one or more of wollastonite (CaSiO3), mica, diatomite, feldspar and talc.

19 . (canceled)

20 . The seed of claim 11 , wherein the silicate mineral has an average particle size ranging from about 5 μm to about 150 μm.

21 . A method for coating a seed, the method comprising coating the seed with a seed coating formulation according to claim 1 .

22 - 24 . (canceled)
