Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of pesticides, plant protection and cultivation, and relates to a seed coating agent of phenylpyrimidine compounds that can improve seed germination rate and seedling rate and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Machine-sown rice and direct-seeded rice are important planting methods for rice production in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, with advantages of saving labor, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. In recent years, due to factors such as tight rice-wheat intercropping schedules and labor shortages, various simplified rice and wheat cultivation methods such as machine-sown and direct-seeded rice have been widely used, but this has brought about the following problems: (1) Seed viability problem. Due to tight rice-wheat cropping schedules and labor shortages, field preparation is often inadequate, and the flatness and uniformity are weak. Seeds are in adverse environments such as temperature, moisture and soil flatness during direct-seeding or machine-sown stages, and the germination vigor of seeds often declines, resulting in insufficient basic seedlings in the early stage of the field, leading to fewer panicles in the later stage, and ultimately affecting the yield; (2) Seedling establishment rate problem. Seeds mainly rely on autotrophy from sowing to emergence. Although seeds with weak germination vigor can germinate, the emergence rate and seedling establishment rate are low, which makes it easy for seedlings to have uneven, unequal and weak seedlings, which is not conducive to unified field management and affects the quality of the crop population. The aforementioned problems severely impact high-yield and high-quality rice production, hindering the widespread application of mechanized and direct-seeded rice cultivation. In production, to ensure seed germination and seedling establishment rates, this is often addressed by increasing seed quantity. However, excessive seed quantity leads to fierce competition among seedlings for resources such as fertilizer, water, light, and temperature, resulting in small, weak, and insufficiently robust seedlings, thus affecting seedling emergence. This has a series of adverse effects on seedling emergence and mid-to-late-stage growth in both mechanized and direct-seeded rice, ultimately impacting yield and quality. Therefore, using specialized rice seed coating agents to improve germination and seedling establishment rates is a novel technical approach and measure. It increases germination and seedling establishment rates while reducing seed quantity, and this direction is currently a hot topic and focus of research on high-yield and stress-resistant rice cultivation regulation techniques.
[0003] Seed coating agents are compositions containing one or more active ingredients that play an important role in seed disinfection, slow-release fertilizers and pesticides, pest and disease control, improving crop resistance, and reducing environmental pollution. Advanced seed coating agents, processed using high-tech methods, can evenly adhere to the outer surface of the seed, forming a protective film. The pesticide is concentrated around the seed, releasing its effects slowly and is less affected by the external environment, making it difficult for surrounding pests and diseases to survive. This achieves excellent disease prevention and seedling protection without the need for other pesticides, resulting in high utilization efficiency and extended efficacy. The coated seeds have a smooth surface, which is beneficial for mechanical sowing. Furthermore, the coating agent can regulate seed size, improving the efficiency of mechanical sowing.
[0004] Upon review, there are currently no similar seed coating agent patents for improving germination and seedling survival rates. In particular, there is a lack of corresponding technologies and methods for improving seed vigor and increasing germination rates in fields with complex and variable environments, such as machine sowing and direct seeding. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art by providing a phenylpyrimidine compound that can improve seed germination rate and seedling survival rate.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the phenylpyrimidine compound, film-forming agent, wetting agent, dispersant, thickener and purified water is (2-4):(1-2):(1-3):(2-4):(0.2-0.8):100.
[0019] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rice seed coating agent is formed by repeatedly grinding a mixture of the phenylpyrimidine compound, film-forming agent, wetting agent, dispersant, thickener and purified water to form a 2-4% concentration of phenylpyrimidine compound nanoscale stable suspension.
[0020] The method for preparing the rice seed coating agent of the present invention involves mixing the phenylpyrimidine compound, film-forming agent, wetting agent, dispersant, thickener and purified water, and then repeatedly grinding them to form a 2-4% concentration of phenylpyrimidine compound nano-type stable suspension, which is the rice seed coating agent.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the phenylpyrimidine compound, film-forming agent, wetting agent, dispersant, thickener and purified water are mixed and then repeatedly circulated and ground for 100-120 minutes through a grinder, a chiller and a nano-sand mill. The indoor ambient temperature for all machines is maintained at 20-25 degrees Celsius, and finally a 2-4% concentration of phenylpyrimidine compound nano-type stable suspension is formed.
[0022] The application of the rice seed coating agent described in this invention in improving seed germination rate, seedling rate, and promoting the accumulation of dry matter during the seedling stage.
[0023] A method for improving seed germination rate, seedling rate, and promoting the accumulation of dry matter during the seedling stage involves coating rice seeds with a germination rate of over 90% using the aforementioned rice seed coating agent. The volume-to-mass ratio of the rice seed coating agent to the rice seeds is 1:40-60 (mL:g). After coating, the seeds are dried for later use.
[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, seeds with a germination rate of over 90% are selected, dried, and then normally coated. A 2% concentration of the seed coating agent of the present invention is used. For machine-sown rice, the coating ratio is 1:50-60 (mL:g) by volume of the agent; for direct-seeded rice, the coating ratio is 1:40-50 (mL:g). Coating can be done manually or mechanically, ensuring uniform coating concentration and thickness. The coated seeds are then sown at the normal field seed rate, with other management methods the same as in the field.

The mixture was produced by Haimaclin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd. Finally, purified water was added to 100mL. The mixture was then repeatedly circulated and ground for 100 minutes in sequence using an electric lifting basket mill (model: LZLM-3L, produced by Changzhou Lezu Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.), a chiller (model: ZP, produced by Changzhou Lezu Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.), and a nano-sand mill (model: LZNSM-0.3L, produced by Changzhou Lezu Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.). The ambient temperature of all machines was maintained at 22℃, ultimately forming a stable suspension of 4,6-dichloro-5-phenyl-2-methylpyrimidine with a concentration of 2%.
[0063] Example 3
[0064] (1) Seed coating
[0065] Select rice variety Yangxiangyu 200 with a seed germination rate of over 90%, take 50 mL of the above-mentioned pyrimidine stable suspension seed coating agent, 2000 g of seeds, and for direct-seeded rice, manually and evenly coat the seeds according to a ratio of 1:40 (mL:g). After coating, dry the seeds for later use.
[0066] (2) Field sowing
[0067] After coating, the seeds are sown at the normal field seed rate of 15 catties / mu.
[0068] (3) Field management
[0069] Post-sowing field management is the same as for normal fields. Specific field survey data and analysis are as follows:
[0070] ① Improve seed germination rate
[0071] Five days after germination, the phenylpyrimidine compound (marked as M17 in the following chart) used as a seed dressing agent showed higher germination rates than the controls (CK1 was a dry-land nursery and CK2 was a blank control) in both the field and indoors. Outdoors, on day 10, the germination rate of M17 treatment was 93.2%, exceeding the two controls' 88.1% and 86.5%, respectively, reaching a significant difference. Indoors, on day 10, the germination rate of M17 treatment was 97.2%, exceeding the two controls' 93.4% and 93.1%, respectively, reaching a significant difference. Figure 5 ).
[0072] ② Improve seedling survival rate
[0073] After a complete germination cycle, the survey showed that germination had basically stabilized on days 12 and 20. In the field, the seedling emergence rate after M17 treatment was 95.1% on day 12, exceeding the control's 89.4% (significant difference). In the indoor environment, the seedling emergence rate after M17 treatment was 98.1% on day 12, exceeding the control's 93.2% (significant difference). These results indicate that the seedling emergence rate after M17 treatment was higher than the control in both the field and indoor environments. Figure 6 ).
[0074] ③ No effect on plant height
[0075] like Figure 7 As shown, the survey indicated that on the 12th and 20th day after seed germination, the plant heights of plants treated with M17 as a seed dressing agent were 14.8 cm and 21.2 cm, respectively, which were similar to the control (14.2 cm and 21.3 cm). There was no significant difference between the two, indicating that it had no effect on the agronomic trait of plant height.
[0076] ④ Promote the accumulation of dry matter weight in seeds and seedlings.
[0077] Depend on Figure 8 It can be seen that the dry matter weight of the material treated with M17 as a seed dressing agent (1.606 g for stems and leaves and 0.375 g for roots) exceeded that of the control (1.308 g for stems and leaves and 0.234 g for roots), and the difference was significant, indicating that the substance has the function of promoting substance translocation.
