The effect of pre-sowing seed treatment on formation of grain productivity and quality of spring wheat seeds in the Predkamie Area of the Republic of Tatarstan
Abstract
The paper considers the results of study of the effect of pre-sowing treatment of seeds with fungicides in pure form and in the mixture with growth stimulators on productivity and quality of seeds of spring wheat variety ‘Yoldyz’. Fungicide ‘Kinto Duo’ both in pure form and in a mixture with FSF (fluid stimulating fertilizer with chelated microelements) and ‘Albit’ had no significant effect on a number of roots per plant. The seed treatment with growth stimulator (‘Albit’ in pure form and disinfector ‘Kinto Duo’) gave some increase of sprout height (8.2 and 8.0 cm with 6.5 cm of the control). The tested drugs, except fungicide ‘Kinto Duo’, increased the energy of germination on 3.1% and laboratory germination on 2.5-4.0%
