Overview

Pre-sowing treatment enhances wheat productivity and reduces disease in two varieties, suggesting improved agricultural practices.

Key Points

  • This research evaluates the effectiveness of chitosan and glyoxal in enhancing soft wheat seed treatment.
  • Evaluated two wheat varieties: Darya and Leningradskaya 6.
  • Applied chitosan with or without glyoxal before sowing seeds.
  • Analyzed crop characteristics and disease indicators after treatment.
  • Wheat productivity increased by 188% regardless of the treatment method.
  • Optimal chitosan concentrations were found to be 5% for Darya and 6-7% for Leningradskaya 6.
  • Sequential treatment with chitosan and glyoxal significantly reduced powdery mildew incidence (95.7%).
