Seed treatments with fungal or bacterial biocontrol agents have been proposed, tested and are likely to be used soon for commercial plant disease control. They may be used to control seedborne plant pathogens and soilborne seed attacking fungi, or as a method of introduing agents that will colonize newly formed roots or other plant parts. In Lithuania seed lots of cereals are routinely treated with chemical seed treaters, but lately interest in biological seed traters has been on the increase.
