It depends on the temperatures of the clouds.
Clouds that are below freezing: you would want ONE of these ice-forming agents:
1) silver iodide (most common)
2) dry ice
3) compressed liquid propane
4) carbon dioxide
Clouds that are warm: you would want ONE of these droplet-forming agents:
1) salt (most common)
2) urea
3) ammonium nitrate

If I remember correctly, it's silver oxide used to seed clouds... (I may not be remembering correctly though lol)
Edit: Yes, I think it is silver nitrate...like the other guy said.
When they did the cloud seeding near here a couple of years ago, they didn't use any dry ice though...

Silver nitrate is used to seed clouds in order to cause rain.

No, it's silver iodide, and it's hardly done anymore cuz it's not too reliable.
