Abstract

The aim of the study was to find the best phase for seed harvest for obtaining high germination capacity of seeds and evaluation of the influence of decontamination on the birdsfoot trefoil seed quality. Seeds of 2 forms of birdsfoot trefoil, variety Skrzeszowicka — S and a new population — K were studied. Seeds were harvested on four dates (T1–T4). The optimal dates were T3 and T4 in which the seeds of both forms of birdsfoot trefoil reached the highest average germination (nearly 30% and 22%). Decontamination was done using Topsin M 500 SC and sodium hypochlorite. It was found that in the case of a variety Skrzeszowicka disinfection gave the desired effect: the germination rate significantly increased regardless of the disinfection variant and in addition, the proportion of hard seeds was decreased. Hypochlorite disinfection of seeds from population K resulted in an increase of germination compared to decontamination by Topsin M. The effect of hypochlorite disinfection of seeds increased germination for the population K in comparison to seeds decontaminated by Topsin M (by 6%).
