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.
