2001
Zaborszky, S. | Gyenesne Hegyi, Zs. | Berzy, T.
The emergence date and emergence percentage of seeds of 5 maize hybrids and the dry mass of individual shoots were examined in a pot experiment sown on three dates (April 3, 10, 17) in three types of soil (sand, sterilised maize soil, maize soil infected with fusarium), with seed treatment using two of dressing agents (Captan, Carboxin+TMTD) and an untreated control. The emergence time changed considerably as a function of the sowing date. In the earliest sowing date treatment the seeds emerged after an average of 24.5 days, while in the latest treatment they emerged after 12.8 days. The dressing agent caused a slight but significant (0.8 days) reduction in the time required for emergence.
