Abstract: A film coating composition, and seed coating composition formed comprising the film forming composition. The film coating composition comprises rosin resin and/or starch derivative and wax dispersion. The sum of rosin/starch and wax in the film coating composition being in the range 2 to 60 wt.%. The seed coating formulation optionally comprises an agrochemical active and/or nutrient, and is applied to seeds or bulbs for wet and dry flowability, abrasion resistance, dust off, germination, plantability and colour retention. In particular, the seed coating composition provides said properties whilst essentially or completely microplastic free. There is also provided a method of making the formulations, and for treating seeds or bulbs with seed coating formulation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for coating plant seed, to a seed coating composition, to a coated plant seed, to a use of one or more water-insoluble polymers with a Tg of at least 35° C., to a method of preparing a seed coating composition, to a method of preparing coated seed, to coated seed, to a use of an abrasive material primer or plasma, and to an apparatus for coating of seed. The method for coating plant seed comprises applying to the seed a seed coating composition comprising one or more water-insoluble polymers with a Tg of at least 35° C.
