Development and Application of Seed Coating Agent for the Control of Major Soil-Borne Diseases Infecting Wheat
In order to reduce the usage amount of pesticide fertilizers and protect the natural environment, seed coating agents are receiving increased wide concern. In this study, the active constituent (pesticide) and inactive components (surfactants and film former) of the seed coating agents were screened...
