Saludos
De antemano gracias.

To overcome these difficulties, the microbead concept was conceived. If the beads are small enough but still capable of encapsulating a sufficient number of bacteria, it would be possible to produce a powder-like formulation. The seeds would be coated with this "bead dust" at the seed handling facility and sold to the farmer in developing countries as "improved seeds". Coated seeds (but with fertilizers or fungicides) are common and accepted in most rural areas of Mexico, for example. In developed countries, in large scale agricultural practice such as in North America, precoated seeds will eliminate the need for an additional expensiv e field treatment and provide the ultimate convenience for the grower. To be sure, precoating seeds with bacteria is not an easy industrial task (Paul et al. 1991), however, a similar idea, but with peat inoculant, has already been applied for preinoculation of forage legumes such as alfalfa. The peat is applied to the seeds as a slurry using an adhesive and the inoculated seeds are covered with finely ground calcium carbonate (Brockwell, 1977)
