seed balls Explanation: https://www.euroseeds.eu/system/files/publications/files/esa... Topfpillen Pillieren ist ein Verfahren, bei dem die Saatgutform durch eine Umhüllung zur Erleichterung der Aussaat in Form und Größe vereinheitlicht wird. Diese Bearbeitung erlaubt es auch, das Saatgut mit speziellen Zusatzstoffen auszurüsten. Topfpillen werden per Stück verkauft. https://www.google.com/patents/EP0616758A1?cl=de Pilliertes Saatgut mit einer vorbestimmten, einheitlichen Anzahl von Samen je Korn und Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung EP 0616758 A1 Es wird ein pilliertes Saatgut mit einer vorbestimmten, einheitlichen Anzahl von Samen je Korn und ein Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung beschrieben. Das Saatgut besteht aus einem unter Berücksichtigung von Eigenschaften der Samen ausgewählten, hergestellten und/oder vorbehandelten Kern und Samen, die in einer an der Oberfläche des Kerns haftenden Streckmasse abstreifsicher eingebettet sind. http://www.k-state.edu/smil/whatwedo/projects/Herrmann.html Optimization of seed ball technology for pearl millet, and agronomic and socio-economic evaluation in the context of smallholder farmers in Senegal and Niger ... The seed ball technology represents a special form of seed pelleting with natural loam and additives including wood ash from cooking places and chemical fertilizers in micro-dosages, to enhance early plant establishment and plant development. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2017-11-15 17:25:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I don't think there's a standard term. More information on seed balls: https://www.rodalewellness.com/living-well/seed-balls This is not a new idea by any means. Some Native American tribes traditionally protected their planted corn kernels from birds and drought by packing them in handfuls of mud from local streams. Forty years ago, visionary Japanese farmer Masanobu Fukuoka perfected clay seed balls as a sustainable way to plant the next crop of grain or vegetables without plowing or disturbing the residues of the previous crop... Seed balls (or seed bombs, as they are sometimes called by gardeners who lob them over fences and into abandoned lots) are a great way to plant seeds of all sorts in places you can't take close care of, such as meadows, roadside strips, and stream banks. Seed balls are also a sensible method for planting vegetables or grains without digging or tilling the soil, or add spots of new color in established flower gardens without disturbing the plants already there. They are also helpful for handling tiny seeds, allowing you to put just a few seeds exactly where you want them -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2017-11-15 17:32:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Video by Seedball (UK): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVrALGcCe5Y |
