The results of studies on the testing of three brands of Metallocene showed that Melafen-Na+Mo was the most effective, the treatment of seeds with it provided a higher productive stem, the formation of larger in size, water content and grain weight, ears, increased yield and grain quality.

An experiment was conducted under in-vitro condition to determine the effect of wheat seed categories such as healthy looking, blackpointed and shriveled as affected by Bipolaris sorokiniana on the germination of wheat seeds. The work was done in the   laboratory of Seed Pathology Center, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during 2010-11. The highest prevalence   65%) of B. sorokiniana was recorded in shriveled seeds, (42%) was recorded in blackpointed seeds, and (30%) was associated  with healthy looking seeds. The pathogen was responsible for the highest germination failure (87%) found in the category of   shriveled seeds and then (35%) was found in blackpointed seeds while the healthy looking seeds showed (24%) germination  failure. The result suggests that, the shriveled and blackpointed seed samples must be rejected, and after proper seed health test in an only the healthy looking seeds may be recommended for sowing through proper seed treatment.

The mycoflora of winter wheat seed consists of various fungi that differ as to the parasitism rate. Their harmfulness is connected with their phytotoxic action and ability to produce mycotoxins. Assuming that essential oils have an effective antifungal impact, we studied the effectiveness of 13 essential oils which were produced by LLC "Aromatyka", Ukraine (cinnamon, orange, peppermint, rosemary, vervain, ylang-ylang, sandal, fennel, lavender, eucalypt, bergamot, frankincense, and geranium) on securing of a group of fungi from winter wheat seeds. The seed mycoflora of Bogdana variety harvested in 2017-2020, which was grown in the North- Eastern Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine (Sumy oblast), was analyzed. A fungi complex analysis was made on the media PGA. The impact of essential oils on seed germinating ability and the length of wheat sprouts on the 7th day has been determined. A longterm studying of seed treatment by essential oils showed their effects on mycoflora formation. These plants affected not only the fungi amount but also changed their secure spectrum. The studies admit a negative impact of fungi on seed germination and plant development. The highest seed germination equaled 95% under its treatment with rosemary and orange oils. However, under seed treatment with rosemary oil, there appeared Fusarium sp. and Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc.) Shoem., which harms seed germination. Orange oil has increased the number of fungi of Penicillium sp. The best results (based on three indices) had sandal oil, under which the fungus colony has increased half, and seed germination equaled 61%, the sprout length was maximal when applying other oils (58.8 mm). The essential oils which fully inhibited seed and fungi development (cinnamon, fennel, vervain, geranium) were determined. The study of two of them as fungicides for treatments at the beginning of wheat flowering proved a similar effect to falcon on the change of the internal seed mycoflora.

Preseeding magnetic treatment of barley seed (Hordeum vulgare L.) resulted in seed yield increases in 13 of 19 field tests in southern Alberta from 1972 and 1975. Similarly, treatment of spring and winter wheat seed (Triticum aestivum L.) resulted in yield increases in 14 of 23 tests. Otas (Avena sativa L.) showed no yield response to magnetic treatment of the seed. Within specified limits, date of treatment before seeding, strength of magnetic field, make or model of the magnetic treater used appeared to have no appreciable effect on the response elicited by the seed and the resultant plant.

The quality of  wheat seed samples of 11 varieties viz. Akbar, Kanchan, Barkat,   Sonalika , Paban,  Prodip, Satapdi, BARI gom 25, BARI gom 26,  BARI gom 27 and BARI gom 28 from 7 different Upazillas of Bogra  and 5 different Upazillas of Naogaon were tested and categorized into six components viz. Grade-0 (72 to 86.7%), Grade-1 (2.9 to 7.5%), Grade-2 (2.1 to 6.0%), Grade-3 (1.7 to 4.5%), Grade-4 (2.4 to 8.4%) and Grade-5 (1.5 to 7.6%). The highest percentage of Grade-0 seeds (86.7%) was recorded in wheat variety of BARI gom 28 and the lowest percentage of Grade-0 seeds (72%) was recorded in variety Kanchan. The moisture content of the seed samples ranged from 10.22 to 13.81%, where the highest percentage of moisture content was found in wheat variety of Kanchan and the lowest in wheat variety of BARI gom 28. The 1000-seed weight ranged from 40.00 to 42.85 g where significantly highest weight was recorded in wheat variety of Sonalika followed by BARI gom 27 and the lowest in BARI gom 28. Health test by Blotter method resulted eight different seed borne fungi belonging to six genera viz. Bipolaris sorokiniana (0.5 to 30.5%), Alternaria tenuis (0.5 to 25%), Fusarium moniliforme (0.0 to 33.5%), Fusarium oxysporum (2.7 to 53%), Curvularia lunata (0.0 to 5.5%), Aspergillus niger (0.0 to 18.5%) and Penicillium spp. (0.0 to 1.5%). Out of 11 samples tested germination of seeds ranged from 98.0 to 73.5%. Wheat seeds of variety  Kanchan was treated with plant extracts,  BAU-Biofungicide and chemical fungicides (Bavistin, Tilt and Provex) while the highest (11%) incidence of Bipolaris sorokiniana was recorded in untreated control and the lowest (0.0%) in seed treatment with BAU-Biofungicide followed by seed treatment with Provax and Tilt. Seed germination ranged from 56.0 to 98.0% where the highest (98.0%) and lowest (56.0%) germination was recorded in case of seed treatment with BAU-Biofungicide and Tilt. BAU-Biofungicide increased 41.75% vigor index over untreated control.Progressive Agriculture 27 (2): 101-109, 2016
