Tomato seeds mature unevenly, making them difficult to select, resulting in low germination rates. Germination promoters lead to tall, spindly seedlings, and the long-lasting effects of chemical pesticide components harm the environment.
A seed dressing agent is formed by combining Chaetomium globosum QM inoculum and Enterobacter schwanniferum 314 A1 inoculum with chitosan, film-forming agent and wetting and dispersing agent, which coats the surface of tomato seeds to improve germination rate and seedling rate.
It improves the germination rate and seedling rate of tomato seeds, enhances the stress resistance and growth of seedlings, and is environmentally friendly.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural biotechnology, specifically relating to a seed dressing agent suitable for tomato seeds and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Seed dressing agents are pesticide formulations (including chemical and biological pesticides) used to treat crop seeds. Through a specific process, the agent is evenly coated on the seed surface, forming a protective film, which then exerts its effect after sowing. The main functions of seed dressing agents are: 1. Control of soil-borne and seed-borne diseases. Soil-borne diseases include wheat sheath blight, take-all, and root rot; corn smut and stem rot. These pathogens exist in the soil and first infect young roots and shoots after seed germination. Seed-borne diseases include rice bakanae disease and rice blast; and certain soybean diseases. Seed dressing agents form a localized "protective ring" around the seed, effectively killing or inhibiting pathogens on the soil and seed. 2. Control of underground and seedling pests. Underground pests include grubs, wireworms, cutworms, and mole crickets, which directly bite and feed on seeds, young roots, and underground parts of seedlings, causing gaps in the rows. Systemic insecticides are absorbed by the seeds and translocated to the seedlings; pests that feed on them die from poisoning. 3. Enhances stress resistance and promotes growth: Some seed treatment agents contain plant growth regulators or trace elements, which can stimulate seed germination, promote root development, make seedlings stronger, and improve their resistance to drought, cold, and salinity. 4. Increases yield and improves quality: By ensuring full, uniform, and robust seedlings, a solid foundation is laid for high crop yields. Healthy roots and plants can absorb nutrients and water more efficiently, ultimately leading to increased yield and improved quality.
[0003] Tomato seeds have a low germination rate and poor activity due to uneven maturity and difficulty in visual inspection and selection. Germination agents are often used in agricultural seedling cultivation, but tomato seedlings grown with these agents tend to be leggy, further reducing the seedling survival rate. Seed coating is one solution, but the active ingredients in current tomato seed coatings are generally chemical pesticide components, which have a long residual effect in the soil and pose environmental risks with long-term use.
