The effect of seed treatment on seed health, quality and yield of spring barley
Part II. Field emergence and yield of spring barley
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of seed dressing on field emergence and yield of spring barley. The field experiment was conducted in the years 2000–2001 in Radzików in plots of 10 m2 each. Prior to sowing, the seeds of spring barley were treated with fungicides tebuconazole (Raxil) or carboxin + thiuram (Vitavax). Untreated seeds were used in a control variant. In general, a medium level of the field emergence was observed. Brewer’s barley achieved a higher level of emergence than did fodder barley, but the differences between the cultivars were rather small. The yielding of spring barley was considerably affected by weather conditions during the vegetation period as well as by cultivar features. The yield of grain per plot obtained in 2000 was twice as high as that obtained in 2001 for all the cultivars under study. Seed dressing, especially with Vitavax, resulted in slight increasing the yield.
