Abstract
A procedure for the treatment of roots of seedlings whereby the roots are provided a water-rich coating, having a surface sufficiently dry and moisture-stable to permit the seedlings to remain discrete and to preserve the integrity of the coating during ordinary handling and planting operation, but sufficiently moisture-sensitive so that soon after planting, the coating disintegrates and releases the pesticide, thus providing the plant protection against pests over an extended period of time. The method is applicable with insecticides, nematicides and fungicides, whether these pesticides are systemic or non-systemic.
