A powdered seed treatment applicator for evenly applying a powdered seed treatment to seeds to be dispensed and planted by a planting machine includes a container, a shaft, and a motor for rotating said shaft in the container. A dispensing element having a plurality of openings is positioned at a bottom of the container. Dispensing bristles are coupled to the shaft and contact the openings as the shaft rotates to urge powdered seed treatment out of the container through the openings while preventing clogging of the openings. Augers and paddles are utilized to provide agitation of the seed treatment, prevent clumping, and facilitate efficient dispensing of the powdered seed treatment within the container. An adjustable dispensing portion is also provided.
