EVALUATION OF SEED TREATMENTS ON THE NODULE COMPETENCY OF SOYBEAN INOCULANTS
… from atmosphere for vegetative growth and seed production through the symbiosis with the soil bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum (B. japonicum). However, the native soil bradyrhizobia may be ineffective in nitrogen fixation and the greatest limiting factor in increasing symbiotic nitrogen …

A new approach for delivery of entomopathogenic fungi for plant protection against insect pests and plant diseases via maize seed : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
… fungi, delivered efficiently through seed coating. Using molecular approach, isolates of several genera of entomopathogenic fungi were characterised and species assigned based on phylogenetic comparisons. Among the species described, this is the first report of the presence of recently …

Environmental Fate of Animal Manure-associated Antibiotics and Seed-coated Pesticide in Soils
… to move through soil when applied as a seed coating using a greenhouse study. Liquid-solid extraction of PLY from soil using (1:6, v/v) ammonium hydroxide/methylene chloride produced good PLY recovery (67-140%). Liquid-chromatography coupled with tandem mass-spectrometry for instrumental …

Development of Pythium oligandrum drechsler for biological control of fungal soil-borne diseases.
… laboratory storage at 5-25° for at least 24 wk. Seeds of cress and sugar beet were coated with oospores using commercial seed-pelleting and film-coating procedures. Both types of seed treatment reduced damping-off of cress caused by P. ultimum in artificially infested sand and potting compost, …

Investigation of nutrient solutions for the hydroponic growth of plants
… that is supplied to the growing plant or as a seed coat or treatment that is applied to the seed before sowing and germination. The form in which the nutrients are supplied to the plant influences their bioavailability, up-take, and distribution within the plant. Commercially produced …
