Abstract
A method for substantially improving the bulk flow properties of pesticide-treated plant seeds is disclosed. The seeds are treated with low levels of a polydimethylsiloxane lubricant which is applied either to seeds that have already been treated with a pesticidal substance or to seeds simultaneously with a pesticidal substance. The polydimethylsiloxane lubricant can be applied either by coapplication from separate compositions or by the application of a composition containing both the pesticidal substance and the polydimethylsiloxane lubricant.
