Struggling against the Bunt and Smut Diseases of Wheat and Barley by Applying New Complex Fertilizers in the Organic Agriculture

Ամփոփում

Cereal bunts and smuts cause a huge damage to the cereal croplands. Various fungicides are usually applied for taking struggling measures against the wheat bunt but they have very often toxic effect on humans and animals. To struggle against the smuts and bunts a complex organo-mineral fertilizer (AFM) endowed with fungicidal properties has been recommended, which is allowed to use in the
organic agriculture as well. The experimental results have disclosed that by soaking the cereal seeds with
the solution of the mentioned fertilizer before the very start of sowing or even earlier, the possibility of the grain infection is prevented and economically justified yield is harvested. Thus, it is recommended to use the AFM as a means of seed disinfection.
