摘要：
A bio-degradable seed coating composition for enhanced seed protection and propagation consists of a gelatin-based hydrogel formulation consisting of a naturally derived, hydrophilic protein, a sulfated or non-sulfated polysaccharide, a divalent cationic salt, and an azeotropic drying agent. The coating is readily applied to the seed and has enhanced drying functionality. The composition adheres to the seed surface and protects the seed during storage for improved shelf life while still being readily hydrated and water absorbent once planted in the respective growing medium.
