ABSTRACT:
A method of gel-coating a seed comprises opening and closing a gel flow channel in a nozzle main body containing a gel therewithin by a cutting plunger, forming a gel-coating layer by opening a valve, supplying a seed contained in a seed storing vessel through the inside of said cutting plunger to the gel-coating layer thereby gel-coating the seed, and then falling the gel-coated seed into a curing vessel by closing the valve. A gel-coating apparatus included a seed supply portion comprising a rotational drum having a small aperture for attracting a speed by vacuum created inside which is broken at a predetermined rotational position by an aperture closing member and a gel-coating portion having a cylindrical cutting plunger disposed at the inside of a nozzle main body for opening and closing a gel flow channel and means for the supplying the gel into the gel flow channel.
