Abstract

A method of treatment of peanut seeds with a fungicide effective against seed-borne pathogens consisting in treating the seeds with a suspension including oil as a base and also including active chemicals in the form of finely ground particles carried by the oil in the suspension and allowing the seeds to dry with the result that a coating including active chemicals remains on the seeds to minimize chemical dust related environmental and physical problems. The seeds have a dried coating embracing and at least partially penetrating the testa of the seed and producing thorough contact with the entire periphery of the seed, the coating containing at least one fungicide effective against the seed-borne pathogens.
