Seed Treatment Dispensers

Abstract

A seed treatment dispenser system is described herein. The seed treatment dispenser includes a seed treatment reservoir storing seed treatment that can be applied to seeds when or prior to planting the seeds. The seed treatment dispenser system includes an activation mechanism that, when activated, controls a release of the seed treatment from the seed treatment reservoir. The activation mechanism can be mechanical, for instance producing a release of seed treatment in response to pressure caused by seeds flowing through a seed container. The activation mechanism can be electronic, for instance controlling seed treatment release in response to detecting a movement of seeds or in response to a proximity of seeds. The activation mechanism may activate in response to a force applied or input provided by a user, for instance in response to pressure produced by the activation mechanism being applied directly to the seed treatment reservoir.

FUNDAMENTALS

[0002] Various seed treatments are applied to agricultural seeds before planting; however, current processes require farmers to apply seed treatments individually at planting time or require treatments to be applied to seeds before distribution. In one example, manually applying treatments immediately before planting requires farmers to open individual seed storage containers and empty one or more buckets or bags of seed treatments into each seed storage container or seed hopper. This is a time-consuming process and requires the farmer to carefully keep track of which treatments have been applied to each seed storage container. In the example where treatments are applied to seeds before distribution, the treated seeds can be stored for many months or years in environments with varying temperature and humidity.Many seed treatments lose effectiveness during prolonged storage periods. Furthermore, market conditions and regional environmental conditions vary from one growing season to another, so seed and seed treatment combinations may no longer be ideal for conditions at planting time. The seed treatment dispensers described in this document allow for...

[000141] In some embodiments, the volume of the seed treatment reservoir is 509,703 cm3 (18 cubic feet) or less, for example: less than 84,950 cm3 (3 cubic feet), between 28 cm3 (0.001 cubic feet) and 509,703 cm3 (18 cubic feet), between Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, p. 33 / 159 26 / 92 84,950 cm3 (3 cubic feet) and 283 cm3 (0.01 cubic feet), between 56,634-84,950 cm3 (2-3 cubic feet), between 56,634-28,317 cm3 (21 cubic feet), between 28,317-14,158 cm3 (1-0.5 cubic feet), between 14,158-1,416 cm3 (0.5-0.05 cubic feet), between 1,416-283 cm3 (0.05-0.01 cubic feet), etc. In some embodiments, the volume of the seed treatment reservoir is at least 148 cm3 (5 volumetric ounces), between 296-8,872 cm3 (10-300 volumetric ounces), between 296-739 cm3 (10-25 volumetric ounces), between 443-887 cm3 (15-30 volumetric ounces), at least 592 cm3 (20 volumetric ounces), between 443-887 cm3 (15-30 volumetric ounces), between 887-1,479 cm3 (30-50 volumetric ounces), between 887-2,366 cm3 (30-80 volumetric ounces), at least 1,479 cm3 (50 volumetric ounces), between 1,331-2,218 cm3 (45-75 volumetric ounces). volumetric), at least 2,070 cm3 (70 volumetric ounces), between 2,366-5,915 cm3 (80-200 volumetric ounces), at least 2,957 cm3 (100 volumetric ounces), between 296-5.915 cm3 (10-200 volumetric ounces), or at least 5,915 cm3 (200 volumetric ounces). In some embodiments, the seed treatment reservoir is divided into one or more compartments, wherein one or more compartments are capable of holding at least the equivalent of 296 cm3 (10 volumetric ounces) of seed treatment or activation indicator. [000142] A seed treatment dispenser can be constructed from various materials or combinations of materials. Walls and lids of a seed treatment dispenser can be constructed from plastic, metal, nylon, or other durable materials. For example, activation mechanisms, including activation arms, can be constructed from metal (e.g., steel or aluminum) or structural foam. Fasteners can be constructed from plastic, metal (e.g., steel, optionally powder-coated, for applications where a strong, thin material is required), nylon, or other durable materials. Cutting edges can be constructed from a material capable of... Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 34 / 159 27 / 92 maintain a cutting edge, for example, metal or polycarbonate. Pressure plates, also known as spring plates, can be made of a rigid material such as metal, acetal plastic, nylon, or other rigid materials. [000143] A seed treatment reservoir can be constructed from various materials suitable for storing a liquid or solid seed treatment (e.g., powder). A seed treatment may be in direct contact with the seed treatment reservoir, or a seed treatment may be located within a secondary container (such as a metallized polyester bag and linear low-density polyethylene) inside the seed treatment reservoir. A seed treatment reservoir may be constructed from a flexible or rigid material. A seed treatment reservoir may be integral to a seed treatment dispenser, or a seed treatment reservoir may be removable from a seed treatment dispenser. In some embodiments, the seed treatment dispenser is reusable.In some embodiments, a reusable seed treatment dispenser comprises a reusable seed treatment reservoir (for example, a reusable seed treatment reservoir integral to the seed treatment dispenser, or a reusable and removable seed treatment reservoir). [000144] In some embodiments, seed treatment reservoirs comprise a moisture barrier, reduced gas exchange (e.g., oxygen transmission), partial or total blockage of UV and light transmission, and are impact and / or tear resistant. In some embodiments, a seed treatment reservoir comprises at least one outer surface with a thickness between 0.025 and 10 mm. In some embodiments, a reservoir of Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, p. 35 / 159 28 / 92 Seed treatment comprises an outer surface with an average thickness between 0.025 and 10 mm.

In some embodiments, the plunger comprises a rod 212 connecting an activation mechanism 211 and a seal 213. In some embodiments, the plunger comprises an integral rod (one piece) 212, an activation mechanism 211 and a seal 213.In other embodiments, one or more of the activation mechanisms 211 and sealing mechanisms 213 may be removed from the connecting rod to allow filling of the seed reservoir or replacement of activation mechanisms adapted to a different type of seed. An optionally removable activation mechanism 2111 or sealing mechanism 213 may be connected to the rod 212 by a mechanical mechanism such as a latch, bolt, screw, hook, slot fastener, clip, etc. [000160] In some embodiments, the activation mechanism 211 and the cap 206 are separate components of the seed treatment dispenser (e.g., see FIGS. 2H, 2J, 2K). In some embodiments, the activation mechanism 211 is integral to the cap 206 (e.g., see FIGS. 2L-N). A cap may be constructed of a flexible material (e.g., see the cap deflection shown in FIG. 2J in the closed position and in FIG. 2J where the caps 206 are made of a flexible material that is deflected while the seed treatment is being dispensed). In some embodiments, one or more caps are constructed of a rigid material (e.g., see the caps in FIG. 2K in the fully open 206 and partially open positions). Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 46 / 159 39 / 92 open 205). In some embodiments, a flexible material is bendable between -6.7 degrees Celsius (20 degrees Fahrenheit) and 48.9 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit). In some embodiments, a flexible material will deflect when approximately 22 N are applied to an edge of the material. In some embodiments, a rigid or inflexible material is bendable between -6.7 degrees Celsius (20 degrees Fahrenheit) and 48.9 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit).

Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, p. 66 / 159 59 / 92 empty through which the seeds 108 can flow and come into contact with the seed treatment dispensed by the seed treatment dispenser. In some embodiments, a seed treatment dispenser comprising a roller dispenser has a seed treatment reservoir with a curved base edge that corresponds to the radius of the rollers to prevent dust from accumulating in the corners of the seed treatment reservoir.[000183] FIG. 10A shows a seed treatment dispenser that can be placed under a seed box and above a container into which the seeds are to be dispensed, for example, between a seed storage container (e.g., a seed box) and a seed box hopper or seed funnel. FIG. 10A shows a seed treatment dispenser positioned to rest on top of a funnel used in discharging seeds from a seed storage container (e.g., into a seed feeder). FIG. 10B is an example of a seed treatment dispenser comprising a hollow circular container, wherein the shape comprises a continuous perimeter with a hollow center.Figure 10A shows that the hollow center of a seed treatment dispenser can be positioned under the opening through which the seed treatment is dispensed, so that the seeds flow through the hollow center of the seed treatment dispenser. In some embodiments, a protective film is removed from the seed treatment dispenser before installation of the seed treatment dispenser. [000184] FIG. 11A shows an example of a seed treatment dispenser 200 attached to a lid 101 of a seed storage container by a fastener 209. The seed treatment dispenser in FIG. 11A shows an example of a seed treatment dispenser in which the Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, p. 67 / 159 60 / 92 The lower surface of the seed treatment reservoir 201 is attached to an activation mechanism. In this example, the activation mechanism comprises two discs (which may have curved, flat, leveled or inclined surfaces, for example, inclined upwards or downwards, or have concave surfaces facing upwards or downwards) that are fixed to the lower outer surface of the seed treatment reservoir by a flexible cord or a fixed rod, wherein the activation mechanisms are or become totally submerged by the seeds loaded in the seed storage container, and the downward force exerted on the activation mechanisms by the flow of seeds exiting the seed storage container causes the separation of the lower surface of the seed treatment reservoir and the release of the seed treatment. FIG.Figure 11B shows an example of a seed treatment dispenser wherein the lower surface of the seed treatment dispenser comprises a lid covering an opening through which the seed treatment is dispensed 208, shown here in the fully activated position. In some embodiments, flowing seeds become caught in the activation mechanisms 211, releasing the spiral spring lid 208, releasing the seed treatment in a rotary motion. [000185] FIG. 12A shows an example of a seed treatment dispenser 200 that can be attached to a seed storage container (e.g., a lid or side wall of a seed storage container) by a fastener 209. The seed treatment dispensers of FIGS. 12A-12D show an example of a seed treatment dispenser in which the lower surface of the seed treatment reservoir 201 is attached to an activation mechanism. In these examples, the activation mechanism comprises discs (which may have curved, flat, leveled or surfaces). Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, p. 68 / 159 61 / 92 inclined, for example, inclined upwards or downwards, or having concave surfaces facing upwards or downwards) that are fixed to the lower outer surface of the seed treatment reservoir by a flexible cord or a fixed rod, wherein the activation mechanisms are or become totally submerged by the seeds loaded in the seed storage container, and the downward force exerted on the activation mechanisms by the flow of seeds exiting the seed storage container causes the separation of the lower surface of the seed treatment reservoir and the release of the seed treatment.In some embodiments, the activation mechanisms are attached to a cord, which is also attached to a lid of the seed treatment container and to an upper surface of the seed treatment reservoir, which in turn is connected to a spring, wherein downward pressure on the activation mechanisms extends the spring, lowering the lid of the seed treatment reservoir and the upper surface of the seed treatment reservoir, simultaneously allowing the release of the seed treatment and pushing the seed treatment out of the seed treatment reservoir. FIGS. 12B-12D show an example of a seed treatment dispenser in which the lower surface of the seed treatment dispenser comprises a lid covering an opening through which the seed treatment is dispensed 208, shown in the fully activated position. FIG.Figure 12B shows an example of an integrated lid and bottom surface of a seed treatment reservoir where the surface is sloped towards the opening of the seed treatment reservoir. [000186] FIG. 13A shows an example of a seed treatment dispenser 200 that can be attached to a seed storage container (e.g., a lid or wall). Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, p. 69 / 159 62 / 92 side view of a seed storage container). FIGS. 13A and 13B show an example of a seed treatment dispenser comprising more than one seed treatment reservoir, in this example three seed treatment reservoirs labeled A, B and C. The seed treatment dispensers of FIGS. 13A and 13B show an example of a seed treatment dispenser in which the lower surface of each seed treatment reservoir 201 is attached to an activation mechanism 211.In these examples, the activation mechanism comprises discs (which may have curved, flat, level, or inclined surfaces, for example, inclined upwards or downwards, or have concave surfaces facing upwards or downwards) that are fixed to the lower outer surface of the seed treatment reservoir by a flexible cord or a fixed rod, wherein the activation mechanisms are or become totally submerged by the seeds loaded in the seed storage container, and the downward force exerted on the activation mechanisms by the flow of seeds exiting the seed storage container causes the separation of the lower surface of the seed treatment reservoir and the release of the seed treatment. FIG.Figure 13A also shows an example where each activation mechanism extends into a seed storage container filled with seeds to different depths shown by D, E, and F, resulting in different activation characteristics. In this example, each seed treatment reservoir is attached to a separate activation mechanism, although in some embodiments, multiple seed treatment reservoirs may be attached to a single seed treatment reservoir. [000187] FIG. 13B shows an example of a seed treatment dispenser 200 that can be attached to a side wall of a seed storage container by a Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 70 / 159 63 / 92 hook fastener that fits over the side wall. The seed treatment dispenser of FIG. 13B shows an example of a seed treatment dispenser in which the lower surface of each seed treatment reservoir 201 is connected to an activation mechanism 211; this example shows a seed treatment dispenser in which each seed treatment reservoir is shown in a fully activated state. In some embodiments, a seed treatment dispenser comprises more than one seed treatment reservoir and each seed treatment reservoir is activated simultaneously. In some embodiments, a seed treatment dispenser comprises more than one seed treatment reservoir and each seed treatment reservoir may be activated at a different time. [000188] FIG. 14A shows an example of a seed treatment dispenser 200 that can be attached to a seed storage container (e.g., a lid or side wall of a seed storage container) by a fastener 209. FIGS. 14A and 14B show examples of a seed treatment dispenser comprising more than one seed treatment reservoir. The seed treatment dispensers of FIGS. 14A and 14B show an example of a seed treatment dispenser in which a single activation mechanism 211 activates the dispensing of seed treatment from several seed treatment reservoirs sequentially. The exemplary seed dispensers shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B illustrate an activation mechanism comprising a disc 211 that is attached to a rod 222.In some embodiments, multiple discs or flanges may be used, and the discs or flanges may have curved, flat, level, or inclined surfaces (for example, inclined upwards or downwards, or have concave surfaces facing upwards). Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 71 / 159 64 / 92 up or down). In this example, prior to activation, a seed treatment dispenser comprises one or more vertically stacked seed treatment reservoirs, wherein each seed treatment reservoir comprises: a spring-loaded hinge 220, so that the seed treatment reservoirs are to be actively held in the inactive state, A. In this embodiment, the reservoirs are held in the inactive state by a rod 222 passing through a channel 221 and the spring-loaded treatment reservoirs are held in the closed and inactive state by insertion behind a flange or in a loop fixed to the seed treatment dispenser (see A in FIG. 14 A and in FIG. 14B).When a seed treatment dispenser loaded with seed treatment is installed in the seed storage container, one or more activation mechanisms are or become fully submerged by the seeds loaded within the seed storage container. In this example, the mechanism is activated by the downward force exerted on activation mechanism 211 by the flow of seeds exiting the seed storage container. This causes rod 222 to move downward to sequentially release each seed treatment reservoir, allowing it to open and disperse the seed treatment. [000189] With reference to FIG. 15, a seed treatment dispenser may have a manual activation mechanism and an automatic activation mechanism, as shown by the manual activation pull cord 202 connected to the handle 203 and the automatic activation mechanism 211. In some embodiments, the manual or automatic activation mechanism pulls a cord wrapped around a cartridge, causing the seed treatment reservoir to rotate (e.g., similar to a spinning top or salad spinner), propelling the seed treatment across the surface of the seeds. Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 72 / 159 65 / 92 [000190] As described above, the actuation or activation of the seed activation mechanism may be manual or physical, actuated by the force applied by a user, by the flow of seeds through a seed container and the like. In some embodiments, the seed treatment dispensing systems described in this document may include an electronic activation mechanism, in addition to or in place of a passive (automatic) mechanical activation mechanism 211 or manual 202. An electronic activation mechanism is a mechanism actuated electronically to open and / or close or allow the opening and / or closing of a seed treatment reservoir, such as opening a lid covering the opening through which the seed treatment is dispensed, uncapping perforations in a seed treatment reservoir, etc.An electronic activation mechanism may optionally be activated by a signal triggered by user interaction with a remote device (a device not integrated with the seed treatment dispenser), a change in the position of a remote device (e.g., a device wholly or partially integrated into or attached to a sliding gate of a seed storage container that sends a signal to an electronic activation mechanism after a change in the position of the sliding gate, e.g., between open and closed). In other examples, an electronic activation mechanism comprises a component capable of directly (e.g., a GPS-enabled device) or indirectly (e.g., an RFID-tagged device) determining the geolocation of a seed treatment dispenser.For example, an RFID tag mounted on a seed treatment device can be read by an RFID reader located at the entrance or exit of a facility or mounted on a piece of equipment (e.g., a bulk seed box hopper, a box hopper, a forklift, etc.), triggering an electronic activation mechanism of a seed treatment dispenser. Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 73 / 159 66 / 92 within a limit distance from the RFID reader. Optionally, an electronic activation mechanism for a seed treatment dispenser can be automatically triggered a period of time after exposure to the RFID reader. An electronic activation mechanism comprising a geolocation component can be triggered based on the geolocation of a seed treatment dispenser. For example, an electronic activation mechanism can be triggered to allow the opening of a seed treatment reservoir only when a GPS-enabled seed treatment dispenser is located within a delimited geographical location. There may be multiple delimited geographical locations within which the opening of a seed treatment dispenser is permitted, for example, one or more fields or facilities.In some embodiments, an electronic activation mechanism may allow a seed treatment dispenser to be activated by an automatic or manual passive mechanical activation mechanism or by an additional electronic activation mechanism. [000191] In some embodiments, an electronic activation mechanism comprises a proximity sensor, for example, an optical proximity sensor (including, without limitation, a lidar sensor, an infrared sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, etc.). An electronic activation mechanism comprising a proximity sensor may trigger the opening and / or closing, or allow the opening and / or closing, of a seed treatment reservoir upon detecting a change in the seed level within a seed storage container, for example, an increase in the distance between the sensor and the average seed level of at least 5 cm, at least 10 cm, at least 15 cm, at least 20 cm, at least 30 cm, at least 40 cm, at least 50 cm, at least 60 cm, or at least 70 cm. In some embodiments, an electronic activation mechanism may include one or more Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 74 / 159 67 / 92 detectors are configured to detect seed movement within the seed storage container and, in response to detecting seed movement, can trigger the release of seed treatment from the seed treatment reservoir. [000192] In some embodiments, a safety device may be included in conjunction with the seed dispenser. The safety device may receive cancellation signals from a user or device that may set the electronic activation mechanism to a locked state, preventing the seed treatment from being released from the seed treatment reservoir. Such embodiments are beneficial insofar as they allow manual control of the seed treatment release when desired, while simultaneously allowing automatic release of the seed treatment under other circumstances.In some embodiments, the safety device may prevent the activation of the electronic activation mechanism in response to the detection of a lack of seeds in the seed container, in response to the detection of the wrong type of seeds in the seed container, in response to the determination that the seed dispensing system is in the wrong location to dispense seeds (e.g., using a GPS positioning system), in response to the detection that the seed dispensing system is in transit, and similar situations. [000193] The electronic activation mechanism may include gears, compression mechanisms, or any other components configured to, when the electronic activation mechanism is activated, cause a force to be applied to the seed treatment reservoir. The force, when applied, causes the seed treatment to be expelled or squeezed from the seed treatment reservoir. In other embodiments, the electronic activation mechanism may pump the seed treatment from the reservoir to be applied to the Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 75 / 159 68 / 92 seeds. In some embodiments, the electronic activation mechanism, when triggered, can compress the seed treatment reservoir downwards onto a screw, edge, blade, tip, or other release mechanism, creating a hole or opening in a surface of the seed reservoir and compressing the seed treatment out of the seed treatment reservoir, through the hole or opening, and onto the seeds. In some embodiments, a set of retractable tabs or other structures prevents the seed treatment reservoir from contacting a screw or blade below the seed treatment reservoir until the electronic activation mechanism triggers and retracts the tabs or other structures, causing the screw or blade to pierce or create an opening within a surface of the seed treatment reservoir. [000194] It should be noted that, in embodiments with an electronic activation mechanism, the seed treatment dispensing system may not have a lever arm, weights, springs, cables, or other components associated with a manual or physical activation of a seed treatment activation mechanism, as described above. It should also be noted that, in some embodiments, a seed treatment dispensing system or seed storage container may include batteries, solar panels, capacitors, or other power sources to power the electronic activation mechanism; may include controllers and / or other sensors to control the electronic activation mechanism; and may include one or more communication interfaces configured to allow the seed treatment dispensing system to receive or send signals, instructions, or other information from local or remote devices or entities. [000195] In some embodiments, the electronic activation mechanism, after activation and release of the seed treatment Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 76 / 159 69 / 92 of a seed treatment reservoir, it can generate a signal or other indication that the seed treatment has been released. In some embodiments, the electronic activation mechanism may produce a signal or other indication that the activation malfunctioned or failed, or that the seed treatment was not or was only partially released from the seed treatment reservoir. In some embodiments, the electronic activation mechanism may produce a signal indicating that the seed treatment reservoir is empty and / or needs to be replaced, for example, for transmission to a device or system associated with an entity that can replace the seed treatment reservoir. [000196] A seed treatment dispenser may comprise an electronic storage medium that can be programmed to store information, for example, information relating to the seed treatment dispenser, the seed treatment reservoir and / or the seed storage container, including, without limitation: a unique identifier, a location, a date of first service, a date of last service, a type and / or quantity of seed treatment loaded into one or more seed treatment reservoirs, a product history (e.g., one or more loading events, a product loaded, a date, a time, a storage duration, a location, etc.), an activation history (e.g., one or more activation events, a product dispensed, a date, a time, a duration, a location, etc.) etc. [000197] FIG. 16A shows an example of a centrally mounted, automatically activated seed treatment dispenser 200. As illustrated in FIG. 16B, a centrally mounted, automatically activated seed treatment dispenser 200 can be securely fixed within the grid created by the central interior support structure 106. Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 77 / 159 70 / 92 In this embodiment, the seed treatment dispenser is activated by the pressure of the seeds loaded on the upper part of the activation mechanism 211, compressing the seed treatment reservoir which comprises a weak point designed and calibrated to burst when seeds are released from the seed storage container. [000198] FIGS. 17A and 17B illustrate views of an exemplary seed treatment dispenser 200 that fits securely above the sliding gate 104 which, in the closed position, covers the opening through which the seeds are dispensed 107 from the seed storage container. In this example, the seed treatment dispenser comprises two seed treatment reservoirs 201, which may optionally be loaded with the same treatments or with different treatments. Seed treatment dispensers may comprise a plurality of seed treatment reservoirs with equal or different volumes. In some embodiments, the activation mechanisms 211 are activated by downward pressure on the mechanisms from the seed flow exiting the seed storage container.In some embodiments, the activation mechanisms 211 (optionally, spring-loaded hatches) are in an inactive state when held firmly against the closed sliding gate, and the seed treatment reservoirs are automatically opened and closed reversibly with the opening or closing of the sliding gate of the seed storage container. In some embodiments, the seed treatment dispenser comprises two activation mechanisms oriented on opposite sides of the opening 107 and perpendicular to the direction of movement of the sliding gate 104, by which the flow of seeds from the storage container is controlled. In this orientation, both activation mechanisms engage the sliding gate simultaneously. In some embodiments, the mechanisms... Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 78 / 159 71 / 92 activation devices are constructed with a flexible material (e.g., silicone) that can be repeatedly deformed by interaction with the sliding gate and / or the seeds. [000199] FIG. 17C illustrates a view of an exemplary seed treatment dispenser 200 that fits securely above the sliding gate 104 which, in the closed position, covers the opening through which seeds are dispensed 107 from the seed storage container. In this example, the seed treatment dispenser comprises two seed treatment reservoirs 201, which may optionally be loaded with the same or different treatments and have the same or different volumes. In some embodiments, the activation mechanisms 211 (optionally, spring-loaded hatches) are in an inactive state when held firmly against the closed sliding gate and the seed treatment reservoirs are automatically opened and closed reversibly with the opening or closing of the sliding gate of the seed storage container.In some embodiments, the seed treatment dispenser comprises two activation mechanisms oriented on opposite sides of the opening 107 and in line with the direction of movement of the sliding door 104 by which the flow of seeds from the storage container is controlled; in this orientation, the activation mechanisms are engaged and disengaged sequentially. [000200] FIGS. 18A and 18B illustrate views of an exemplary seed treatment dispenser 200 securely positioned above the sliding gate 104 which, in the closed position, covers the opening through which seeds are dispensed from the seed storage container. In this example, the seed treatment dispenser comprises a seed treatment reservoir 201; however, a similar seed treatment dispenser may comprise Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 79 / 159 72 / 92 more than one seed treatment reservoir positioned on the same side or on different sides of the seed treatment dispenser and have one or more activation mechanisms. In some embodiments, the activation mechanism 211 (optionally, a spring-loaded hatch) is in an inactive state when held firmly against the closed sliding gate (as illustrated in FIG. 18B) and the seed treatment reservoirs are automatically and reversibly opened and closed with the opening or closing of the sliding gate of the seed storage container. FIG. 18A illustrates a configuration in which the sliding gate 104 is open and the activation mechanism 211 is in an activated state and the cover that covers the opening through which the seed treatment is dispensed is in an open (activated) position 208. [000201] FIGS. 19A and 19B illustrate views of an exemplary seed treatment dispenser 200 positioned securely above the sliding gate 104 which, in the closed position, covers the opening through which seeds are dispensed from the seed storage container. In some embodiments, the activation mechanism 211 is in an inactive state when held firmly against the closed sliding gate (as illustrated in FIG. 19A) and the seed treatment reservoirs are automatically and reversibly opened and closed with the opening or closing of the sliding gate of the seed storage container. FIG. 19A illustrates a configuration in which the sliding gate 104 is closed and the activation mechanism 211 is in an inactive state and the lid covering the opening through which the seed treatment is dispensed is closed (inactivated) 206.Figure 19B illustrates a configuration in which the sliding gate 104 is open and the activation mechanism 211 is in an activated state and the cover is in place to protect the opening. Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 80 / 159 73 / 92 through which seed treatment is dispensed with is open 208. [000202] FIGS. 20A and 20B illustrate views of an exemplary seed treatment dispenser 200 that fits securely above the opening through which seeds are dispensed from a seed container. In this example, the seed treatment dispenser comprises two seed treatment reservoirs 201, which may optionally be loaded with the same or different treatments. Seed treatment dispensers may comprise a plurality of seed treatment reservoirs with equal or different volumes. In some embodiments, the activation mechanisms 211 are rollers activated by the flow of seeds exiting the opening through which the seeds are dispensed; the rollers rotate when they come into contact with the seeds, collect dust, and deposit it on the passing seeds as they exit. [000203] FIG. 21A shows a cutaway view of a seed storage container with an internally mounted seed treatment dispenser 200. This seed treatment dispenser is activated when a user pulls the sliding gate 104 to release seeds from the seed storage container. The opening action of the sliding gate of the seed storage container pulls the draw cord or rod 202 that connects the sliding gate 104 to the lid of the seed treatment reservoir 208. [000204] FIGS. 22A-B, 23A-C and FIG. 24 show different views, examples and components of a seed treatment dispenser that can be attached to a seed storage container (e.g., a side wall of a seed storage container). The seed treatment dispenser consists of an outer structure that supports a Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 81 / 15974 / 92 Internal seed treatment reservoir. When the seed treatment dispenser is not activated, the internal seed treatment reservoir is held above the bottom of the seed treatment dispenser by one or more retaining devices that hold the seed treatment reservoir above a serrated edge, or other sharp surface, that faces upward and is positioned near or at the bottom of the seed treatment dispenser. In some embodiments, the retaining device may be a spring. In some embodiments, the retaining device may be made of a material that is designed to break or compress under the force created by the activation mechanism. In some embodiments, the retaining device may move under the force created by the activation mechanism, allowing the seed treatment reservoir to descend.The lower part of the seed treatment reservoir is made of a material that can be cut by a serrated edge or other sharp surface, or has sections that have been prepared so that they can be cut by the serrated edge or other sharp surface when such sections come into contact with that serrated edge or other sharp surface. The activation mechanism of the seed treatment dispenser is a levered arm that pushes down the seed treatment reservoir when force is applied to it. In some embodiments, the activation arm may be activated automatically by an accessory connected to the end of the activation arm by a rod or flexible cord that creates force at one end of the activation arm when seeds are emptied from the seed box, causing the activation mechanism to exert downward pressure on the seed treatment dispenser.This causes the seed treatment reservoir to push down on the retaining device, resulting in the bottom of the seed treatment reservoir being cut off. Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, p. 82 / 159 75 / 92 by the serrated edge, or other sharp surface, on the inner bottom of the seed treatment dispenser, which performs the release of the seed treatment. In some embodiments, the activation arm may be connected to a cord that would allow manual activation. In some embodiments, the seed treatment dispenser may have a design with a greater width than the example in FIGS. 22A-B, 23A-C and FIG. 24. In some embodiments, the support extends over the top of the seed storage container and the seed treatment dispenser is positioned in the central upper part of the seed storage container. [000205] FIGS. 25 and FIGS. 26A-E show different views and components of a seed treatment dispenser that can be attached to a seed storage container (e.g., a side wall or corner of a seed storage container). The seed treatment dispenser consists of an outer structure containing an inner seed treatment reservoir. When the seed treatment dispenser is not activated, the inner seed treatment reservoir is held above the bottom of the seed treatment dispenser by one or more retaining devices that hold the seed treatment reservoir above a serrated edge or other sharp surface, which faces upwards and is positioned near or at the bottom of the seed treatment dispenser. In some embodiments, the retaining device may be a spring.In some embodiments, the retention device may be made of a material that is designed to break or compress under the force created by the activation mechanism.

The lower part of the seed treatment reservoir is made of a material that can be cut by a serrated edge or other sharp surface, or has sections that have been prepared so that they can be cut by the serrated edge or other sharp surface when such sections come into contact with such serrated edge or other sharp surface. The serrated or sharp edge may have a surface that is fully (e.g., 223 in FIG. 23) or partially (e.g., 223 in FIG. 26D) parallel (or substantially parallel, e.g., with less than 10 degrees difference) to the non-cutting edge of the cutting edge assembly. In other embodiments, the cutting edge forms a point, as shown in 223 of FIG. 26D or FIG. 26E. The angles that make up the point may be more or less sharp than those illustrated.In some embodiments, one or more cutting edges may be positioned on a substantially straight edge (for example, as the side of an approximately rectangular cutting mechanism, as shown in FIG. 26E in 223). The cutting edge assembly may comprise a continuous cutting edge, for example, to completely cut a shape from the surface it cuts. Alternatively, a cutting edge assembly comprises one or more cutting edges adjacent to non-cutting surfaces.For example, a cutting edge set might have three non-continuous cutting edges positioned around three sides of a rectangular shape, a cutting edge set might comprise cutting edges positioned in an x ​​shape, a cutting edge might be half or three-quarters of a circle, a rectangular cutting edge set might have two cutting edges positioned on opposite or adjacent sides, a rectangular cutting edge set might have one or more cutting edge sets positioned to cut one or more corners, etc. Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 84 / 159 77 / 92 [000206] The activation mechanism for the seed treatment dispenser shown in FIGS. 22-26 and 39-41 is a levered arm that pushes down the seed treatment reservoir when force is applied to it. In some embodiments, the activation arm may be activated automatically by an accessory connected to the end of the activation arm by a rod or flexible cord that creates force at one end of the activation arm when seeds are emptied from the seed box, causing the activation mechanism to exert downward pressure on the seed treatment dispenser. This causes the seed treatment reservoir to push down the retaining device and causes the bottom of the seed treatment reservoir to be cut by the serrated edge, or other sharp surface, on the inner bottom of the seed treatment dispenser, which accomplishes the release of the seed treatment.In some embodiments, the activation arm may be connected to a cord that would allow manual activation. An outer surface of a seed treatment dispenser or seed treatment outer casing 227 may have a channel through which the activation arm may move when pressed; examples of this are shown in FIG. 25, FIG. 26B, FIG. 26D, FIGS. 39A-39B, FIG. 40B and FIG. 41. The channel may extend through all or part of the seed treatment dispenser or seed treatment outer casing 227. [000207] In some embodiments, accessory 209 hangs on the side wall of the seed storage container. In some embodiments, the support extends over the top of the seed treatment dispenser, and the seed treatment dispenser is positioned in the upper center of the seed storage container. In some embodiments, the seed treatment dispenser Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, p. 85 / 159 78 / 92 may have a design with a greater width than the examples in FIG. 25 and FIGS. 26A-E, for example, substantially the total length of a seed storage container. [000208] FIG. 25 shows an exemplary fastener 209 that can be used to fix a seed treatment dispenser to the corner of a seed storage container. The fastener in FIG. 25 shows an extended hook covering approximately perpendicular walls of a seed storage container. In some embodiments, the fastener for a corner-mounted seed treatment dispenser may comprise one or more hooks, for example, at least one hook to extend over the edge of a wall of the seed storage container. [000209] FIGS. 27A-B, 28 and 29A-C show different views of an exemplary center-mounted seed treatment dispenser that can be attached to the center of a seed storage container. The seed treatment dispenser consists of an outer frame supporting an inner seed treatment reservoir, supported by safety clips that hold the seed treatment reservoir above the bottom of the seed treatment dispenser. The safety clips support the seed treatment reservoir above a serrated edge, or other sharp surface, connected near or on the bottom of the upward-facing seed treatment dispenser. In some embodiments, the serrated edge or sharp surface is a removable component of the seed treatment dispenser.The bottom of the seed treatment reservoir is made of a material that can be cut by a serrated edge or other sharp edge, or has sections that have been prepared in such a way that they can be cut by a serrated edge or other sharp edge when these sections come into contact with that sharp edge. The activation mechanism of... Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 86 / 159 The 79 / 92 seed treatment dispenser is suspended below the seed treatment reservoir, connected to the safety clips by flexible rods or cords. In some embodiments, the activation mechanism may be automatically activated when seeds are emptied from the seed box, causing the activation mechanism to descend and exit the safety clips, causing the seed treatment reservoir to press down against the sharp edge and resulting in the cutting of the bottom of the seed treatment reservoir by the sharp edge at or near the bottom of the seed treatment dispenser, which performs the seed treatment release. In some embodiments, the activation arm may be connected to a cord that would allow manual activation. [000210] FIGS. 30A-B, 31A-D and 32 show different views of an exemplary seed treatment dispenser mounted in the center with an automatic activation system. The seed treatment dispenser consists of an outer structure supporting an inner seed treatment reservoir, which rests on a safety clip that holds the seed treatment reservoir above the bottom of the seed treatment dispenser. The safety clip holds the seed treatment reservoir above a serrated edge, or other sharp edge, facing upwards, which is near or at the bottom of the seed treatment dispenser.The lower part of the seed treatment reservoir is made of a material that can be cut by a serrated edge, or other sharp edge, or has sections that have been prepared so that they can be cut by a serrated edge, or other sharp edge, when such sections come into contact with such edge. In some embodiments, the safety clip is removed after the seed container has been filled, by means of a connection to a flexible cord that can... Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 87 / 159 80 / 92 to be pulled. In some embodiments, the safety clip is removed before dispensing the seeds from the seed storage container. The activation mechanism of the seed treatment dispenser is the lid. The activation mechanism may be activated automatically when the seeds are emptied from the seed box, causing the activation mechanism to descend, causing the seed treatment reservoir to press against the serrated edge or other sharp edge, resulting in the cutting of the bottom of the seed treatment reservoir, which effects the release of the seed treatment. [000211] FIG. 33 shows an angled side view of the individual components of an exemplary seed treatment dispenser mounted in the center with an automatic activation system. The seed treatment dispenser consists of an outer casing structure that supports an inner seed treatment reservoir, which rests on a safety clip that holds the seed treatment reservoir above the bottom of the seed treatment dispenser. When the seed treatment dispenser is not activated, the inner seed treatment reservoir is held above the bottom of the seed treatment dispenser by one or more retaining devices that support the seed treatment reservoir above a serrated edge or other sharp surface, which faces upwards and is positioned near or on the bottom of the seed treatment dispenser.In some embodiments, the retention device may be a spring. In some embodiments, the retention device may be made of a material that is designed to break or compress under the force created by the activation mechanism. In some embodiments, the retention device may move under the force created by the activation mechanism, allowing the treatment reservoir to move. Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, p. 88 / 159 81 / 92 seeds descend. In some embodiments, the seed treatment reservoir may rest on a sealing plate that rests on a spring plate that rests on the retaining device. The safety clip prevents the seed treatment dispenser from releasing the seed treatment. The bottom of the seed treatment reservoir is made of a material that can be cut by a serrated edge or other sharp edge, or has sections that have been prepared so that they can be cut by a serrated edge or other sharp edge when such sections come into contact with such edge. In some embodiments, the safety clip is removed after the seed container has been filled, by means of a connection to a flexible cord that can be pulled. In some embodiments, the safety clip is removed before dispensing the seeds from the seed storage container.The activation mechanism of the seed treatment dispenser is the lid. The activation mechanism can be activated automatically when the seeds are emptied from the seed box, causing the activation mechanism to descend, thus causing the seed treatment reservoir to exert downward pressure against the serrated edge or other sharp edge, resulting in the cutting of the bottom of the seed treatment reservoir, which effects the release of the seed treatment. [000212] FIGS. 34A-B and 35A-B show different views of an exemplary seed treatment dispenser that is mounted on the inner bottom of a seed storage container. The seed treatment reservoir is fixed at an angle close to the opening through which the seeds are dispensed from the seed storage container. The seed treatment reservoir is fixed to the activation mechanism which, in turn, is fixed to the sliding gate of the seed storage container. When the sliding gate of the seed storage container Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 89 / 159 When switch 82 / 92 opens, the activation mechanism opens a section of the seed treatment reservoir, thus triggering the release of the seed treatment. [000213] FIG. 38 is a cross-sectional side view of an exemplary seed treatment dispenser mounted on top, showing a removable seed treatment reservoir 201 installed over a sharp edge 223 for piercing the seal covering the opening in the seed treatment reservoir through which the seed treatment is dispensed. In some embodiments, the surface comprising the sharp edge forms a continuous surface oriented inward toward springs and dimensioned to fit within an interior opening of the spring plate. [000214] FIG. 38 also shows an exemplary connection of a fastener to the seed treatment device. In this embodiment, the fastener is separable from the seed treatment device, but in other embodiments, the fastener and the seed treatment device can be integrated into a single unit. In this embodiment, the fastener comprises a connection point 231 for an activation mechanism. This example also shows a design whereby the wall of the seed treatment dispenser fits under the connection point 231 and the lower edge of the seed treatment dispenser is supported by the fastener 209. Optionally, the fastener is made of steel, for example, powder-coated steel.In an alternative embodiment, the fastener comprises a hook that fits over an edge of a seed storage container and is friction-fitted onto an extension of the fastener that extends wholly or partially around or under the outer surface of the seed treatment dispenser. In some embodiments, the portion of the fastener that fits over the side of a seed storage box and under a lid of a seed storage box has a thickness of 1-5 mm, 1.5-3 mm, 2-4 mm, 3-5 mm. Optionally, Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, p. 90 / 159 83 / 92 the portion of the fastener that fits over the side of a seed storage box and under a lid of a seed storage box may comprise an opening through which a pin or latch for securing the lid of a seed storage container to the wall of the seed storage container may pass, for example refer to 232 in FIG. 41. [000215] Optionally, the seed treatment dispenser comprises a lid covering an opening through which the seed treatment is dispensed 206, in addition to a cover over the opening of the seed treatment reservoir through which the seed treatment is dispensed. Optionally, the additional lid is positioned on a one-way hinge that opens outward from the inside of the seed treatment dispenser, so that the seed treatment can be dispensed when the seed treatment device is activated, but the seeds do not enter the seed treatment dispenser. The lid may contain perforations. The perforations in the lid optionally have a smaller diameter than the average diameter of the type of seed to be loaded into the seed treatment dispenser. The upper surface of the lid has one or more extensions capable of breaking up clumps of seed treatment that fall onto the extensions. [000216] In some embodiments, the activation mechanism comprises an activation arm (e.g., lever), optionally activated by an anchor fixed by a rigid or flexible mooring line (e.g., see FIG. 44). In some embodiments, the anchor has a bell or cone shape and is capable of generating a force of at least 1.81 kg (4 lb), at least 2.27 kg (5 lb), between 2.27-4.54 kg (5-10 lb) (inclusive), at least 2.72 kg (6 lb), at least 3.18 kg (7 lb), between 3.18-4.08 kg (7-9 lb) (inclusive), at least 3.63 kg (8 lb) Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 91 / 159 84 / 92 pounds) or at least 4.08 kg (9 pounds) when attached to seeds to be dispensed from a seed storage container. In some embodiments, the anchor weight is at least 0.45, 0.90, 1.36, 1.81, 2.27 kg (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 pounds). In some embodiments, the tether is at least 60.96 cm (24 inches), at least 71.12 cm (28 inches), at least 76.2 cm (30 inches), between 76.2-66.04 cm (30-26 inches), at least 81.28 cm (32 inches), at least 86.36 cm (34 inches), or at least 91.44 cm (36 inches) long. The lever may extend beyond the outer dimension of the seed treatment dispenser (e.g., in FIG. 39A and FIG. 39B, or FIG. 23ABC) or it may not extend beyond the outer dimension of the seed treatment dispenser (e.g., in FIG.26ABCD) and, optionally, may be able to fold to fit within the outer walls of the seed treatment dispenser when not in use. FIG. 39A shows an example of the foldable activation arm 211 shown in an extended state. The activation arm of FIGS. 39A and 39B has an extension along the lower surface that applies force centrally to the surface of the seed treatment reservoir opposite the opening through which the seed treatment is dispensed. [000217] FIG. 39A and FIG. 39B also show an example of an extension 230 (optionally of the spring plate 229) which is lowered when a downward force is applied to the seed treatment reservoir, optionally, and as shown in this example, by an activation arm. The movement of the extension pushes the extension 230 against the lid 206, resulting in the lid opening. In some embodiments, the spring plate comprises one or more integrated extensions to open a lid covering an opening in the seed treatment dispenser through which the seed treatment is dispensed. An example of an extension 230 is also shown in FIG. 42B. FIG. 42B shows Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 92 / 159 85 / 92 a partial cutaway view of a seed treatment dispenser 200 in the activated state. The springs 224 are compressed and the extension 230 extends below the lower surface of the seed treatment dispenser and presses against the lid in the open position 208. [000218] A seed treatment dispenser may not include a seed treatment reservoir, which may be a separate and removable consumable. An exemplary seed treatment dispenser without a seed treatment reservoir is shown in FIG. 41. FIG. 41 also shows an example of a fastener 209 that extends across the entire width of the seed treatment reservoir (although, optionally, a fastener may extend less than the total width of the seed treatment dispenser or a fastener may extend beyond the width of the seed treatment dispenser). The fastener 209 shown also has a cutout on the upper surface of the fastener.A fastener with a cutout can be additionally attached to the seed storage container by positioning the cutout over a passage through which a pin or other device for securing a lid of a seed treatment box can pass; the insertion of the pin to secure the lid also secures the seed treatment dispenser to the seed storage container, preventing the seed treatment dispenser from shifting during transport or storage. [000219] FIG. 42B shows a partial cutaway view of a seed treatment dispenser 200, comprising a seed treatment reservoir, fixed to a seed storage container 100 by a fastener 209 extending over a side wall of the seed treatment dispenser and under the lid 101 of the seed storage container. As shown, the activation arm 211 fits Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, p. 93 / 159 86 / 92 below the lower edge of the lid 101. Optionally, the upper corner of the end of the activation arm attached to the seed treatment dispenser or fastener is rounded or chamfered so as not to interfere (e.g., touch) with the underside of the lid when the free end of the activation arm is pressed. In some applications, it may be desirable to prevent the dispensing of seed treatment while the lid of the seed storage container is attached to the seed storage container; in this case, the upper corner of the end of the activation arm attached to the seed treatment dispenser or fastener should not be rounded or chamfered, and the upper surface of the activation arm should be flush with the lower edge of the lid of the seed storage container so that the activation arm does not rotate when force is applied to the free end of the activation arm. [000220] Some seed treatment dispensers described in this document comprise a bottom wall or opening in the upper part of a side surface of the dispensers (such as opening 240) through which an activation arm can pass when activated. In some embodiments, the bottom wall is covered when the arm is in an inactive state, for example, by one or more brushes or flexible material or by a cover 231, as shown in FIGS. 43 and 44. The opening allows the activation arm to apply greater pressure on the seed treatment reservoir, allowing the seed treatment to flow better from the seed treatment reservoir. [000221] Some seed treatment dispensers are configured to accept a fully removable seed treatment reservoir (examples are shown in FIGS. 47A and 47B). For many seed treatment dispensers configured to accept seed treatment reservoirs Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, page 94 / 159 87 / 92 removable seed dispensers (such as seed treatment compartments), it is important for the efficient dispensing of seed treatment that the seed treatment reservoir be installed consistently with respect to a cutting edge capable of opening the seed treatment reservoir when activated. One mechanism for maintaining a consistent orientation of a seed treatment reservoir when installed in a seed treatment device is one or more fittings in a wall of the seed treatment dispenser that hold the seed treatment reservoir in place during transport; examples are shown in FIG. 45A and FIG. 46A. An integral fitting 232, as shown in FIG. 45A, FIG. 45B and FIG.Figure 46A is conical so that a seed treatment reservoir can be pushed over the fitting during installation in the seed treatment device, but has a flat or less conical edge side so that the device is not easily tilted or pushed out during transport. Another mechanism to help hold a removable seed treatment reservoir in a seed treatment dispenser is corresponding channels or curves in the seed treatment reservoir and the seed treatment dispenser. An example is shown in FIG. 46A and FIG. 46B. These figures show an example of a seed treatment dispenser with curved walls, where the curved walls create a channel that conforms to the corresponding corner shape of a spring plate on which the removable seed treatment reservoir can be placed.In some embodiments, one or more regions of a spring plate may be raised to create a barrier to prevent an installed removable seed treatment reservoir from sliding out of alignment; an example is shown in FIG. 46A and FIG. 46B. [000222] In some modalities, the treatment dispenser Petition 870250100817, dated 04 / 11 / 2025, p. 95 / 159 88 / 92 of seeds is reversibly attached to a seed storage container by one or more of the following: a mechanical fastener or one or more adhesives. In some embodiments, at least one component of the seed treatment dispenser is integral (forms a single piece) with the seed storage container. For example, at least one component of the seed treatment dispenser (including, for example, a fastener, seed treatment reservoir, activation mechanism, tie, etc.) may be molded into a lid of a seed storage container, molded into a wall (e.g., a side wall of an upper segment or a base) of a seed storage container, molded into the sides of an opening through which the seeds are dispensed, molded into a structure under the opening through which the seeds are dispensed, etc. EXAMPLES Example 1.

A seed storage container in which the treatment is applied (manually or via a seed treatment dispenser) is referred to in this example as the application container. Seed samples from the application container (after application of the seed treatment) were collected directly from the application container, from a second seed storage container to which the contents of the application container had been transferred, or from an auger in a bulk storage facility where the contents of the application container were transferred to a bulk storage facility, or from an auger in a box storage facility where the contents of the application container were transferred to a box storage facility (as described in Table 2).Samples were collected at the times indicated in Table 3, which describes the sampling time in relation to the transfer of seeds to a collection box (e.g., seed storage container, bulk storage container, or...).
