Seed Pelleting Process for Bird and Disease Control

Pelleting seed is done at Vallonia Nursery for both bird repelling and early damping-off control. The following products have one or both of the above effects: (1) Arasan, 75% (SFX); (2) endrin, 50% W; (3) orthocide, 50 W. Bird and rodent repelling is increased by the addition of (1) anthraquinone; (2) Morkit; or (3) aluminum powder, flaked (paint stores). Sticker or pelleting slurry is made from (1) Dow latex 512 R; (2) Dow methycellulose; or (3) Flintkote, hydrol C-13-HCP emulsion. One of each group may be used with good results. There may be other manufactured products that will work equally well. The details given in this article are strictly informative and no recommendation of any manufacturer's product is intended.
