Abstract
The coating of seeds makesit possible to drop the seeds more easily and smoothly from the seed spout of planter. So the author made experiments on the coating method, coating machine, coating material and germination of the coated seeds.
The results were as follows:
1. Two types of the coating machine, coating pan and tabletting machine were used. The coating pan was suitable for seeds of Beer barley, barley and wheat, and tabletting machine for comparatively small seeds like those of rape-seed, turnip and radish.
2. The author used talcum as main coating material, and arabicgum and gelatine as binder.
3. In germination of seeds there was no difference between coated seeds and natural seeds.
