Abstract
The article describes the effect of fungicide and microbial protectors used for pre-sowing seed treatment on oat production capacity. It analyses agents of various origins and functions (Vial Trust® Maxim® Selest® Top, Extrasol®) and the results of the tests. The research demonstrates that pre-sowing seed treatment with Vial Trust® had a positive effect on the length of the whisk. Maxim® contributed to the increase in the 1000-grain weight, whereas seed treatment with Extrasol® showed a positive effect on the field germination rate of the oat plants, the height of the plants, the number of the cones in the whisk. It also contributed to the decrease in the number of defective cones, increased the number of grains in the whisk, boosted grain weight in the whisk and enhanced the crop productivity. In all cases, the results of the treated variants exceeded the control variants, thus demonstrating their efficiency and sustainability effect.
