Efficiency of treating maize seeds with fungi and bacterial microflora protective stimulating compositions

摘要

The high quality of the seeds is one of the main agronomic requirements that ensure high and stable yields of crops with other conditions being optimal. Seeds are the source of preserving many pathogens, as they are rich in proteins and minerals, andare a good nutrient substrate for pathogenic fungi and bacteria. The effect of insect fungicides, insecticides, growth stimulants, and treaters on the seed microflora and the seeding qualities of maize seeds was assessed in the laboratory conditions. Theeffectiveness of 23 developed protective and stimulating compositions on maize seeds was also assessed in the laboratory conditions. The study was aimed at performing the phytoexpertise of maize seeds and developing protective and stimulating compositions for their rehabilitation. According to the results of the studies, it has been found that treating maize seeds with protective and stimulating compositions suppresses fungal and bacterial infections of the seeds, improves their sowing qualities and the growth rate of the seedlings, and preventing seed mold.
