Seed treatment is a critical stage of the agrotechnical cycle that determines the starting potential of yield and the resistance of crops to adverse factors. High-quality preparation of seed material, including sorting, disinfection, and pre-sowing stimulation, allows protecting seedlings from soil pathogens, storage pests, and biological threats. Properly conducted procedures ensure not only the uniformity of emergence of vigorous seedlings but also create a foundation for developing strong plant immunity in the early stages of development.
This collection gathers materials covering both the theoretical foundations of plant physiology and practical aspects of crop protection and nutrition. The reader will find recommendations on the application of biological products, growth regulators, humic acids, and complex fertilizers. The articles detail the mechanisms of seed and crop protection in various growing conditions, from greenhouse to field crop rotation. This knowledge will help agronomists and amateur gardeners optimize the process of seed preparation, effectively use modern methods of disease control, and ensure optimal plant nutrition to achieve high productivity indicators.
