Treatment of experimental seed

Diekmann, M. (ICARDA, Aleppo (Syria))
The control of seedborne pests and pathogens is very important to minimize deterioration of the limited supply of experimental seed and to reduce yield losses. Treatment of experimental seed to control fungi, insects and to some extent, nematodes and bacteria, also reduces the risk of transferring these pests and pathogens to new areas with the seed. The procedure and equipment of the ICARDA Seed Health Laboratory are described for seed treatment with powder, slurry, and liquid formulations. The design and operation of the fumigation facility are also described
