ABSTRACT:
The seeds to be sown are coated with a coating substantially comprising a saccharide such as glucose by mixing the seed with a saccharide solution prior to seeding. At the same time a fungicide and nutrients to improve germination may be added. The additional weight imparted to the seed by the glucose enhances the probability that the seed will be spread evenly on the seed bed, particularly when the latter is covered with water.
