Seed Dressings!

[einstein]

My FSS seed results have come back.

Winter Barley (Cassia) 95% germination TGW 53
Horation WW 97% germination TGW 42 - 0% bunt 0% sep spp and 1% microdochium nivale

Is there any point even treating the wheat, (or even cleaning it)?
(Barley as a third cereal will get redigo deter)

What about fusarium levels?thats all i bother looking for.

What dressing would you have on wheat going in after a 5 yr grass ley?

I think that's microdochium isn't it?

 

[Brisel]

Yes. Michrodochium nivale is the one you don't want in your seed if it's not treated. Low levels are ok. Medium levels want a dressing.

oh thanks ive learnt somthing there.i will ask at the lab just exactly what they test for when they look for fusarium.is that type that youve mentioned the one that causes seedling blight.
in fact a quick google has cleared that up microdochium nivale FKA fusarium nivale !!

They may well still be in business but that user hasn't been online here in 4 years so you may not get a response, might be worth trying another way of contacting them. @APJ can you PM him any details?
