Abstract

An environmental-friendly seed coating agent for maize was mainly made up of natural polysaccharide polymer without pollution, and other additives. In order to clarify the effect of seed coating agent on maize yield, the effect on increasing yield was analyzed by the antibacterial test, the pest repellent experiment, the safety test and the field test with comparison of CK and after coating, which conducted by the e-feng brand corn seeds. With four major characteristics including antibiosis, desinsectization, increasing yield and environmental friendship, this seed coating agent is safer and more environmental-friendly than the traditional seed coating agent. The trial results from the laboratory and fields had shown that the anti-bacterial rate of this seed coating agent came to 90%, and the anti-feeding rate of insect pests came to 81%. After using this seed coating agent, the production of maize yield increased by 17.75% respectively, compared with untreated control. Besides, the LD50 of this seed coating agent was 10 times as much as traditional seed coating agent.
