Abstract
Seedling development is enhanced by applying to the seeds, for example corn and soybeans, a water-soluble, non-aromatic polyamino acid such as polyaspartic acid. Time to germination is decreased, and rate of seedling development is increased. The composition may be applied to the seeds with a liquid or solid carrier or in combination with other seed treatments, such as nutrients and pesticides.
