ABSTRACT: This novel environmentally friendly
wheat seed coating agent which has been made with natural polymer as the
primary material could increase yield by about 9% compared with the conventionally
virulent wheat seed coating agent. In the premise of this production, the
content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and
peroxidase (POD) was determined. The results show that, after treated by
the self-made wheat seed coating agent, the contents of the MDA were less than
traditional group and the blank control group and POD contents were higher
than traditional group and blank control group, this provides a good foundation
on the further research of self-control wheat seed coating agent.
