Abstract

The aim of the research was to study the effect of chemical and biological fungicidal disinfectants on the sowing qualities of seeds, the length of stem and root of seedlings of winter rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and winter mustard (Brassica juncea L.). We carried out the research in 2018-2020 in the laboratory conditions on the seeds of rapeseed cultivar Sarmat and mustard cultivar Dzhuna. We tested the following fungicidal disinfectants: chemical – a contact preparation with the active ingredient thiram 400 g/l (standard); systemic preparation with the active ingredient fludioxonil 25 g/l; complex biological contacts consisting of fungi of the genus Trichoderma Pers. and of bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas Мigula: biopreparation 1 (1 g/l+2x108 CFU/ml); biopreparation 2 (2 g/l+2x108 CFU/ml). All studied disinfectants suppress seed infections on rapeseed and mustard. They do not have negative effect on the stem length of rapeseed seedlings, but in the variant with thiram, the number of seedlings with a short root increases by 13 % compared to the control. When rapeseed seeds are treated with Fludioxonil and biopreparations, the number of seedlings with a root length of 56-70 mm increases, which contributes to better rooting and optimal overwintering of plants. When seeds of winter mustard are treated with thiram, the number of seedlings with a very short root (up to 25 mm) increases. Fludioxonil and biopreparation 1 contribute to an increase in the number of seedlings with a root length of 41-55 mm, which favorably affects the development of the plant’s root system and contributes to an increase in winter hardiness.

Highlights

  • Winter rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and winter brown mustard (Brassica juncea L.) are oil crops of the Brasicaceae family with high potential yield

  • We tested the following fungicidal disinfectants: chemical – a contact preparation with the active ingredient thiram 400 g/l; systemic preparation with the active ingredient fludioxonil 25 g/l; complex biological contacts consisting of fungi of the genus Trichoderma Pers. and of bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas Мigula: biopreparation 1 (1 g/l+2x108 CFU/ml); biopreparation 2 (2 g/l+2x108 CFU/ml)

  • As a result of research, we found that all tested fungicides did not have a negative effect on the laboratory germination of seeds of winter rapeseed, it was 96-100 % by variants

Summary

Introduction

Winter rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and winter brown mustard (Brassica juncea L.) are oil crops of the Brasicaceae family with high potential yield. Mustard seeds and cake are widely used for medical purposes and as a seasoning [4]. During the entire growth season, rapeseed and mustard plants, as well as other oil crops, for example, sunflower, soybean, black mustard, false flax, are affected by various diseases: fusarium, verticillium wilt, Alternaria blight and others [5,6,7,8,9]. Seed germination is one of the most important factors through which rapeseed and mustard demonstrate their yield potential
