The effect of seed treatment on seed health, quality and yield of spring barley
Part I. The effect of seed treatment on fungi contaminated seed of spring barley, its germination and vigour
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of seed dressing on sowing value of spring barley. Barley seeds of five cultivars harvested in 1999 and 2000 were examined. The seeds were treated with fungicides tebuconazole (Raxil) or carboxin + thiuram (Vitavax). In the laboratory tests, seed health, germination capacity and vigour were evaluated. It was found that barley seeds were infested by numerous species of fungi. Among them, the saprophytic fungi: Alternaria alternata, Penicillium spp., Stemphylium spp., Cladosporium spp. and the pathogens: Bipolaris sorokiniana and Fusarium spp. were most often observed. The study has shown that seed treatment reduced the occurrence of microorganisms, especially pathogens. A highly effective fungicide was carboxin + thiuram that reduced the incidence of Bipolaris sorokiniana. It was also more effective than tebuconazole towards microflora. The data of evaluation showed a higher level of seed contamination by B. sorokiniana in brewer's barley than in fodder barley. Germination capacity and vigour depended on seed treatment and cultivars.
