Summary for Patent: 4,250,660

Title:	Process for producing coated seed
Abstract:	Coated seeds, the coating of which has sufficient hardness for machine-seeding and adequate disintegration characteristics in soil, are obtained by surface treating a coating powder and then coating seeds with the surface-treated coating powder.
Inventor(s):	Kitamura; Shuji (Ibaraki, JP), Watanabe; Masashi (Ibaraki, JP), Nakayama; Michihiro (Osaka, JP)
Assignee:	Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited (Osaka, JP)
Application Number:	06/050,334
Patent Claims:	1. A process for producing a coated seed, which comprises mixing a coating powder with an aqueous solution of a water-soluble binder, drying the resulting mixture, powdering the mixture, and then coating a seed using the resulting surface-treated coating powder. 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein the coating powder is one member selected from diatomaceous earth, aluminum hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, calcium sulfate, calcium sulfite, basic magnesium carbonate, kaolin-clay, dolomite, talc, zeolite, illite, halloysite, bentonite, vermiculite, microlite and peat moss. 3. A process according to claim 1, wherein the water-soluble binder is one member selected from starch, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, gelatin and pullulan. 4. A process according to claim 1, wherein the amount of the water-soluble binder is 0.1 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the coating powder. 5. A process according to claim 1, wherein the aqueous solution of the water-soluble binder is in a concentration of 0.1 to 10% by weight. 6. A process according to claim 1, wherein the powdering is carried out so as to make a mean particle size of the mixture 10.mu. or less. 7. A process according to claim 1, wherein the coating is carried out using a water-soluble binder. 8. A coated seed obtained by the process of claim 1. 9. A coated seed comprising a seed and a coating thereon of a coating powder, said coating powder having been previously treated by mixing the powder with an aqueous solution of a water-soluble binder, drying the resulting mixture and powdering the mixture, said resulting treated coating powder being bonded by a water-soluble binder to said seed to form a coating thereon. 10. A coated seed according to claim 9, wherein the coating powder is one member selected from diatomaceous earth, aluminum hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, calcium sulfate, calcium sulfite, basic magnesium carbonate, kaolin-clay, dolomite, talc, zeolite, illite, halocite, bentonite, vermiculite, microcite and peat moss. 11. A coated seed according to claim 9, wherein the water-soluble binder is one member selected from starch, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, gelatin and pullulan. 12. A coated seed according to claim 9, wherein the amount of the water-soluble binder is 0.1 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the coating powder.
