Effect of some Seed Dressings on Germination of Wheat Grain

Abstract

Wheat grains of cv. Sedi Mesri 1, were treated with different concentrations of Benomyl (Benlate), Quinolate. Triplecar MN and Carboxin (Vitavax)-Thiram mixture (20:40). The treated and untreated grains were germinated at 25°C under controlled conditions for six days. No adverse effect of seed dressing was found on percent germination, speed of germination and the growth of the embryo.
