A corn seed dressing with the fungicide triticonazole at 760 nmol/seed prevents head smut disease. In resting seeds, the dressing treatment was followed by the penetration of 19% of the product, 9% inside the tegument and 7% inside the pedicel. In growing seedlings, the inner content increased in the storage organs (endosperm + scutellum) as well as in the growing organs. The partition lipophilic phase/water certainly explains the high apparent fungicide concentration progressively reached inside endosperm and scutellum. However, no important transfer of fungicide from these organs to the growing parts seems to occur. It appears therefore that the fungicide transfer from the coating to the roots mostly occurs through dissolution of the product in the surrounding soil water and through root absorption. The efficient fungicide concentration inside the meristem is likely to be obtained during the early stages of development.
