Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of selected seed treatments on the health of grass seeds: meadow fescue and perennial ryegrass from three years of harvest, obtained from breeders. The material for the research was the seeds of four varieties of meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis) and four varieties of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne). Seed material treated with four treatments: two biological Bioczos (garlic extract) and Polyversum (oospores of the fungus Pythium oligandrum) and two chemical Maxim (fludioxonil) and Vitavax (carboxin and thiuram) and the untreated grain, surface disinfected with sodium hypochlorite. Seeds of the studied species and cultivars were colonized by both saprotrophic fungi: Alternaria alternata, Aureobasidium pullulans, Epicoccum purpurascens and Penicillium spp. as well as pathogens: Fusarium spp., Drechslera spp. and Bipolaris sorokiniana. It was found that the use of chemical treatments, especially the use of Vitavax, has a positive effect on the improvement of seed health expressed by the number of fungal colonies, including the main pathogens. However, no significant increase in the germination capacity of the tested seeds was observed.
