Seed dressing with electron beams - a new method for the control of seed-borne pathogens on winter wheat

Treatment with electron beams is a new technique of physical seed dressing using the biocidal action of low-energetic electron beams for the control of seed-borne pathogens. The principle of this technique is to limit the action of the electron to the near-surface layers of the caryopsis (pericarp a...

Summary:Treatment with electron beams is a new technique of physical seed dressing using the biocidal action of low-energetic electron beams for the control of seed-borne pathogens. The principle of this technique is to limit the action of the electron to the near-surface layers of the caryopsis (pericarp and testa), the embryo situated underneath is not reached by the electrons. Hitherto existing research work is directed on the optimization of fungicidal but phytotoxically harmless parameters for electron treatment of wheat seed and their corroboration in laboratory, greenhouse, phytotrone and field trials. The controlled pathogens are Tilletia caries (DC.) Tul. and Septoria nodorum Berk.
