Sažetak
Seed coating with protective substances, as fungicide and insecticides is very important practice in maize seed production. Some fungicides and insecticides could stimulate or reduce germination and initial growth of seedlings. The aim of this study was to investigate different seed treatments of fungicide (fludixonil+metalxil-M) and insecticides (tiametoxam and imidacloprid) on germination and initial growth of six maize inbred lines. Applied pesticides generally elevated the germination percentage, while fresh matter of root and shoot varied, depending on the genotype. Furthermore, all applied treatments induced increase in dry matter in root and shoot, what can be related to a decrease in hydrolysis, parallel to increase in biosynthesis, in general. The observed seed coating treatments induced increase in maize inbreds germination, as well as it stimulated fresh and dry matter accumulation via increasing of biosynthesis. Adequate pesticide combination depends on genotype.
