Abstract

In the study, a novel environmental soybean seed coating agent was made of natural polymer, trace elements, trace fertilizer and biopesticides etc., with the condition of high performance-to-price ratio and environmental friendliness. Effects of this soybean seed coating agent on soybean yield were tested through the laboratory and farm experiments. The tested results showed that the soybean yield using this seed coating agent was increased by 15.46%, and its cost was decreased by 27.8%, compared with the conventional soybean seed coating agent. It’s nontoxic and harmless to human and animals, more friendly to the environment. So it has obvious economic and environmental benefits.

Highlights

  • Soybean is famous for its abundant plant protein, which is one of the main economic crops in China

  • The tested results showed that the soybean yield using this seed coating agent was increased by 15.46%, and its cost was decreased by 27.8%, compared with the conventional soybean seed coating agent

  • After many years of research [3] [4] [5], we developed a natural polymer material as the main ingredient, complemented with fertilizer, trace elements and biological pesticide and other additives to make a new efficient environmental friendly soybean seed

Summary

Introduction

Soybean is famous for its abundant plant protein, which is one of the main economic crops in China. In order to ensure soybean could effectively against plant diseases and insect pests violations, in the northeast of China soybean seeds were coated with seed coating agent before it is planted [1]. At present the mostly used soybean seed coating agent have serious toxicity and pollution to human body and the environment. The Kangzhongcha and G Budweiser soybean coating agent, which is widely used at the Northeast market of China, is seriously toxicity and have pollution.
