Abstract
Seed coating is a process in which polymer are thinly coated around the seeds in order to coat them with various types of active compound such as insecticide, fungicide, and plant nutrients. In the present, seed coating technology has become the main method of seed production process for trade and export. Therefore, the body of knowledge and expertise in seed coating, coating formulations, and coating technology are trade secrets. Nevertheless, seed coating has gained tremendous attention from involved sectors or education institutions in Thailand. They have started to do research on it continuously. This article presents the body of knowledge of seed coating, and seed coating methods including sub-topics discussing important elements for successful seed coating process particularly the information of seed coating equipment, seed coating substances or polymers, and active compound. The author hopes that this article will be highly useful for those interested in the topic and those who are learning about the topic for future application.
