Using Static Multiple Light Scattering to Develop Microplastic-Free Seed Film-Coating Formulations.

ABSTRACT: Seed film-coatings used for seed treatment often contain microplastics which must be replaced. The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of substitutes (maltodextrin, waxy maize glucose syrup (WMGS), methylcellulose, tragacanth gum (TG), arabic gum (AG), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), ethoxylated rapeseed oil (ERO)), and xanthan gum as a thickener on the stability of a seed film-coating via Static Multiple Light Scattering (SMLS) technology. The results demonstrate that the incorporation of each polymer results in an increase in the quantity of particles migrating from the supernatant phase, but a concomitant decrease in their sedimentation rate and in the thickness of the supernatant phase (e_c). Furthermore, the redispersion capacity (C_d) of the partic
