Combining with seed coating method, rhodamine B (RB), a kind of fluorescent compounds had been used in seed labeling as an anti-counterfeiting technology. Effects of broad bean seed coating with RB on physiological parameters and fluorescence performance in broad bean seedlings were performed. The prolonged fluorescence in vascular bundles of seedlings treated with RB could be used as a marker of seed anti-counterfeiting. The experiment showed that RB had no negative effect on seed germination, seedling growth, seedling protective enzyme activities, and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and chlorophyll, after coating seeds with ratio 1kg RB to 10–30kg seeds. In addition, the RB adsorption by soil was accorded with the isothermal adsorption equations of Langmuir, which exhibited the linear correlation as 0.9959, the maximum adsorption as 1.716mg/g, and the adsorption equilibrium constant as 0.042L/mg. The soil adsorption of RB could be effectively degraded by UV/Fenton. Present research suggested that coating broad bean seeds with appropriate concentration RB were safe to seed germination and this technology was suitable for anti-counterfeiting application.
