The effect of seed treatments with three fungicides, Ceresan (2.3 per cent phenyl mercury acetate and 0.4 per cent ethoxy mercury silicate), Coversan (96 per cent tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone), and panogen (2.2 per cent methyl mercury dicyandiamide), on the germination of two cultivars of maize stored for up to 12 months after treatment was determined. None of the treatments affected the germination of maize.

The effect of seed treatment, seed size, incorporated organic matter, and method of shelling on the establishment of peanuts at Katherine, N.T. was studied during two seasons, 1965-66 and 1966-67. Mechanical damage to the seed during machine shelling was one of the main causes of poor establishment : the larger seed was more vulnerable and the smaller grades of mature, well-filled seed may be preferable. Seed treatments that included 'Ceresan' (phenyl mercury acetate) overcame much of the damage caused by machine shelling. It was concluded that the seed treatments gave protection against fungal infection when the testa had been damaged but could not rectify damage to the radicle. Seasonal conditions after sowing were very important in determining the level of establishment, and the relative efficiency of seed treatment was greater under adverse conditions. Incorporated organic matter had no marked effect on establishment, although peanut residue caused a small but significant reduction.

Fifty isolates of Venturia inaequalis, from diseased apples of several varieties collected in sprayed orchards on various fungicide programs and in unsprayed orchards, were tested for their sensitivity to captan, glyodin, dichlone, phenyl mercury acetate, copper sulphate and sulphur. The isolates were sensitive to a wider dosage range of sulphur than of other fungicides but there was no indication that, in nature, V. inaequalis had developed strains resistant to the fungicides.

Health Test

Two sets of experiments were done to examine whether seed-treatment chemicals affected the ability of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based seed health test to detect Erwinia stewartii. The chemicals evaluated included Actellic, Apron, Captan, Cruiser, Gaucho, Maxim, Poncho, Thiram, and Vitavax in 11 seed-treatment combinations. In one experiment, seed-treatment chemicals were evaluated quantitatively in a critical region of ELISA absorbance values near 0.5 using maize seed that were spiked with uniform quantities of a liquid suspension of E. stewartii. The number of bacteria in each sample was estimated from ELISA absorbance values using standard curves. Log CFU of E. stewartii per sample were not significantly different among the untreated control and the 11 seed treatments compared with Tukey's Studentized Range Test (P = 0.05). Means of log CFU/ml for all treatments were tightly clustered around 5.70 which corresponded to an absorbance value of 0.440 and a bacterial population of about 500,000 CFU/ml. In a second set of experiments, seed treatment chemicals were evaluated based on qualitative decisions that resulted from the ELISA-based seed health test of seed lots of Jubilee and A632 infected with E. stewartii. The number of negative samples was not substantially greater than expected based on binomial probabilities except for samples of Captan/Vitavax-treated A632, which we considered to be a type I error. The mean absorbance values of positive samples ranged from 1.42 to 1.72 for A632 and from 1.51 to 1.91 for Jubilee and did not differ significantly among the seed treatments. There was no consistent evidence from these experiments that fungicide or insecticide seed treatments interfered with the sensitivity of the ELISA or altered low (e.g., 0.5) or high (e.g. 1.4 to 1.9) absorbance values. The ability of the ELISA-based seed health test to detect E. stewartii in maize seed was not affected by these seed treatments.

Pratylenchus Zeae

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of maize (Zea mays) seed treatments for the control of Pratylenchus zeae under glasshouse conditions. Seeds of the maize hybrid DKB390 treated with thiametoxam, thiametoxam + abamectin and imidacloprid + thiodicarb were used as treatments. The treated maize seeds were sown in plastic cups containing soil inoculated with 200 nematodes (juveniles and females). Two of the four experiments that were done were evaluated at 60 and 90 days after sowing (DAS). The first experiment was evaluated 30, 60 and 90 DAS, and the fourth experiment only at 90 DAS. Fresh root mass and total nematodes extracted and counted from roots of each plant were used as the assessment criteria. All seed treatments tested showed a degree of efficacy in reducing the reproduction rates of P. zeae under glasshouse conditions. The imidacloprid + thiodicarb treatment showed consistent results in all replications of all four experiments, often being the one resulting in the lowest P. zeae density. The thiametoxam + abamectin treatment was also effective in reducing nematode numbers and differed significantly from the control treatments for all four experiments. Thiametoxam used on its own as a seed treatment proved to be as effective as the mixture with abamectin in two of the four experiments and does not provide consistent results in terms of reducing P. zeae population levels.

Chrysanthemum stool cuttings stored from November to May at 28°F to 34°F produced normal flowering plants when planted in the field. Rots seriously affected subsequent growth of stool cuttings stored at 37°F but not at 28°F to 34°F. When rots affected the growing tips only, weak lateral growth occurred on the stool cuttings. An Erad (phenyl mercury acetate) field spray before digging or Thylate as a dip or dust treatment after digging did not prevent mold or rot development in storage. Temperatures below 28°F injured stool cuttings.

Poor field emergence of the wheat cultivar Summit was reported in the Wimmera Region of Victoria after its release to farmers in 1966. In field and laboratory experiments the emergence of Summit was reduced when seed was stored for long periods after being treated with normal rates of a phenyl mercury acetate fungicide commonly used for control of covered smut or common bunt of wheat. A shorter period of storage with higher rates also seriously reduced emergence. Several other fungicides were shown to have varying effects on the emergence of the cultivar and one of these, maneb, gave satisfactory control of bunt. The greater susceptibility of Summit to phenyl mercury acetate demonstrated in these experiments was not associated with the degree of seed coat damage.

Following single cover sprays of Erad (phenyl mercury acetate) mercury residues in apples declined until early in August and then increased until at harvest they were greater than the initial deposits. The accumulation of mercury in the maturing fruit appeared to be by translocation from other parts of the tree.Mylar film was more effective than polythene for protecting fruit from contamination with Erad during and following spraying.

Mercury was readily translocated to growing fruit of apple trees which had received one cover spray of phenyl mercury acetate between June 14 and August 31. The rate of translocation was less with cover sprays applied near the end of this period. Translocation due to a phenyl mercury acetate cover spray occurred to about the same extent in the apple varieties McIntosh, Cortland, Red Delicious and Gravenstein. In addition to phenyl mercury acetate, a cover spray of phenyl mercury chloride, phenyl mercury dimethyl dithiocarbamate, phenyl mercury triethanol ammonium lactate, phenyl mercury monoethanol ammonium acetate, and mercuric chloride resulted in similar translocation of mercury to growing fruit.
