Abstract
Dry seed flow lubricant compositions are provided for improving seed appearance and flowability. The lubricant compositions include about 5% to about 100% by weight cellulose-based polymer in place of commonly used lubricants such as talc, graphite, or plant protein powder. Advantages of the lubricant compositions include that they are non-toxic, microplastic free, and biodegradable to provide a carbon source for plant growth and have an increased shelf life relative to plant oils that can become rancid over time. In addition, seed performance compositions are provided that reduce days to germination, increase germination rate, and/or increase plant growth. The seed performance compositions counteract negative effects on plant growth that can occur from seed treatment with pesticides. Dry compositions are also provided that include a combination of a seed flow lubricant and a seed performance additive to improve seed flowability and improve seed germination and growth.
