Abstract
Disclosed is an encapsulated structure for plant initiate material. Plant initiate material is encapsulated in a waterproof membrane coating or waterproof capsule, onto which water swellable polymeric material particles are partly embedded. This structure provides the encapsulated plant initate material with sufficient pressure resistance to endure rough handling, and allows the plant initiate material to gerninate without difficulty since during imbibition the water swellable particles would swell after absorbing water and thus break the waterproof memebrane coating or the waterproof capsule.
