Die Erfindung betrifft ein flüssige Sameneinlegebadzusammensetzung zum Impfen von Samen, insbesondere Nutzpflanzensamen, mit wenigstens einem Solvens als Trägermaterial und wenigstens einer anorganischen Komponente, welche im Bereich von 0,1–5,0 Gewichts-% bezogen auf die Gesamtmasse der Sameneinlegebadzusammensetzung enthalten ist, wobei die wenigstens eine anorganische Komponente eine selenhaltige Verbindung aufweist.Liquid seed inlaid bath composition comprises at least one solvent as a support material and at least one inorganic component, which is present in an amount of 0.1-5 wt.% and comprises a selenium-containing compound. An independent claim is included for inoculating the seed, comprising (a) preparing a seed inlaid bath by a template of the solvent, (b) adding at least one powdery and/or liquid selenium-containing compound to the solvent, preferably under mixing, where the mixing takes place at least up to the complete loosening of the selenium-containing compound, (c) introducing the seeds, preferably commercial plant seeds into the seed inlaid bath so that the seeds are completely covered by the liquid seed inlaid bath, (d) holding the seeds in the seed inlaid bath for a predefinable period, preferably within one minute to one hour, (e) optionally stirring the liquid seed inlaid bath composition during the holding time, (f) removing the seeds from the seed inlaid bath, (g) drying the seeds, and (h) spreading the seeds on a predefinable seed surface.
