SEED ENCAPSULATION METHOD FOR AEROSEUTIVE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A01C1/06 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the agriculture. Disclosed is a method for encapsulating seeds for aerial sowing, involving seed capsulation and cooling procedures. Additionally, a capsule-forming mold is created, comprising cells having a configuration providing aerodynamic resistance of the capsule in flight; preparing a solution containing ingredients which ensure effective germination of seeds, having a freezing temperature, optimum for storage and effective germination of a specific type of seeds, as well as density higher than seeds, that providing location of seeds inside capsules, increases their protection and aerodynamic stability of capsule in flight due to location of center of mass of capsule in front of its pressure center. One seed is placed into each cell of the capsule mold. Complete filling of the mold cells is performed to obtain the capsules with the solution and the mold is cooled to the solution freezing temperature and the capsules are formed. Method comprises extraction of capsules from mold for subsequent aerial suction.

EFFECT: higher quality of aerial sowing and subsequent survival of seeds.
