[QUOTE="novatech, post: 610861, member: 5494"] I planted coated seed this year. The coating had no effect on how the seed went through the gears in the clover box. Turns out the weather has been favorable for clover this year and where I thought there was no clover is totally covered with native. Never the less now I have a new variety added to the pasture. As far as the coating is concerned, the man that sold this seed to me said the coating was to aid in transferring the rhizobia to the ground instead of using inoculate, and that it would stay alive better. Besides that it was all he had. Since the subject came up I decided to do a little research. I found that some coatings do not do anything and some do. Here is an article if you are interested. [url=http://www.springerlink.com/content/n132w29442u01120/]http://www.springerlink.com/content/n132w29442u01120/[/url] I found a lot of advertisements for coatings but this is the only study I found using the lime. I also found another study that claimed that the plants per acre, coated vs. non-coated, were about the same when just planting the same number of pounds per acre. [/QUOTE]
