Effect
No effect on produce quality
No effect on nitrogen N use efficiency
Elorisan-MA treated Maize, hybrids Pionneer 3893 and Dekalb DK221, grown under different N-fertilization rates (0, 50 and 100 %), hadn't a significant higher grain yield, total shoot biomass or higher N, P, K, Ca or Mg contents in the grains compared to the untreated controls. The seed coat didn't also influence any maize seedling growth parameter compared to the untreated seeds seen in a laboratory test
