Tomato: Seed treatment for organic agriculture

Bresov Practice Abstract - Harmful seed-borne plant pathogens (present in/on the seed), can be the source of infection on the crops that originated from infected seeds. The use of healthy seed is therefore a very important tool for the success of the crop. Seed treatment aims at reducing/inactivating the inoculum of seed-borne pathogens or indirectly improve plant defence response using a mechanism known as biopriming.

Webinar "Trattamenti con acqua calda per la sanificazione dei semi di ortaggi" nella produzione biologica

Il 26 marzo, dalle 10.00 alle 13.00 CET, LiveSeeding terrà un webinar online sui trattamenti con acqua calda per la sanificazione dei semi di ortaggi. I trattamenti con acqua calda sono un metodo per sanificare le sementi nella produzione biologica di ortaggi. Sono utilizzati per controllare i patogeni trasmessi dai semi in diverse specie di ortaggi e hanno dimostrato di essere efficaci contro i patogeni fungini e batterici delle piante.
