INFLUENCE OF PRE-SOWING TREATMENT OF WHEAT SEEDS (<i>TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.</i>) BY BIOGAS EFFLUENT FOR THE ENERGY OF GERMINATION AND SEED SIMILARITY
Presowing seed treatment using biological agents is an environmentally friendly way to improve the sowing properties of agricultural seeds. The aim of the study was to study the effect of taking pre-sowing treatment of seeds of spring soft wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. ) with a solution of effluent of various concentrations, both in pure form and in combination with the drug «Pseudobacterin-2, Zh». It has been established that pre-sowing treatment of seeds with a 5% solution of effluent in its pure form, and in concentrations of 5%, 15, 30 and 60% in combination with the drug «Pseudobacterin-2, Zh» increases the energy of seed germination. Treatment of seeds with a 30% and 60% concentration of the effluent solution both in pure form and in combination with the preparation «Pseudobacterin-2, Zh» significantly reduces laboratory germination.
