Hot water treatments are one method to sanitise seed in organic vegetable seed production. It is used to control seed-transmitted pathogens in several vegetable species and has been shown to be effective against fungal and bacterial plant pathogens. As this thermal treatment affects the inside layers of seeds with both heat and moisture, it needs to be mastered with care, know-how and experience, to avoid seriously degrading their germination capacity.  

In this webinar Dr. Jelena Baćanović-Šišić, plant pathologist in Bingenheimer Saatgut AG in Germany will explain their procedure and share their experience with hot water treatments.  

TOPICS THAT WILL BE COVERED:
– effects and efficiency of hot water treatments
– critical points to avoid damaging seed
– equipment for treating on small and larger scales
During the webinar, there will be time and space for participants’ questions and group discussions.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

Integrated Pest Management highlights the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms. IPM is one of the tools for low-pesticide-input pest management, and IPM must now be implemented by all professional agchem users.

Plant Diseases

Diseases infect susceptible plant hosts, where environmental conditions favor disease development. Infected crops achieve lower yields and the quality of the produce can also be affected.
