Influence of weather conditions and seed dressers on field germination of corn hybrids seeds

Abstract

   Effect of weather conditions, hybrid early ripeness and grain consistency, laboratory germination and fungicide seed treaters on the emergence degree under field conditions is shown on the basis of multi-year researches (2005–2017). It has been established that the seeds of early ripening hybrids with high sown conditions and flint kernel type as well as favourable temperature year conditions provided the smallest difference between laboratory and field germination. Maxim XL was the most efficient seed treater when used under the conditions of long-term low temperatures in the preemergence period (less than 10 °С).
