When cool, wet conditions persist after planting, Pythium spp. can be an important constraint to stand establishment in field pea. Laboratory studies and field trials were conducted over 3 yr to assess the impact and evaluate the interactions of Pythium spp., metalaxyl seed treatment and damage to seed on seedling establishment, root rot severity and seed yield of field pea. Seedling emergence, seedling size, and seed yield were reduced by inoculation with Pythium spp. and by mechanical damage to the seed. Fungicide seed treatment reduced the impact of seed damage, but did not always restore seedling emergence and seed yield to the same level as from undamaged seed. Undamaged seed treated with metalaxyl was not affected by inoculation with Pythium spp. Differences among cultivars, although often significant, were small relative to the effect of seed injury. Laboratory studies showed a negative linear relationship between inoculum concentration and emergence from untreated seed. They also showed that Pythium spp. had a similar impact on seedling emergence in cool (20/10°C day/night) and cold (12/6°C) soils. This study showed that planting fungicide-treated, high-quality field seed was an effective means of maximizing emergence and stand establishment for commercial field pea production. Key words: Pisum sativum, seed vigour, metalaxyl, Pythium, seed damage

Raw seed, primed seed, and transplants were compared for effects on stand establishment, plant morphology, and yield of paprika pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Raw seed seemed satisfactory for stand establishment, although primed seed had the potential to provide better initial stands. When populations were equalized, there were few differences in plant growth, plant morphology, or fruit yield attributed to seed treatment. Morphology of plants established by direct seeding generally was favorable for mechanical harvest. Use of transplants did not result in higher marketable fruit yields than direct seeding in two out of three years. When compared to plants established by direct seeding, three trends were consistent across all three years for plants established by transplanting: a) they were more massive: b) they had larger vertical fruiting planes: and c) they had more branches. These traits would increase the difficulty of mechanical harvest and would create the potential for more trash in the harvested product. Thus, transplanting is not recommended for stand establishment of paprika intended for mechanical harvest.

Hwang, S. F., Ahmed, H. U., Turnbull, G. D., Gossen, B. D. and Strelkov, S. E. 2015. Effect of seeding date and depth, seed size and fungicide treatment on Fusarium and Pythium seedling blight of canola. Can. J. Plant Sci. 95: 293–301. Seedling blight has a substantial impact on stand establishment and productivity of canola (Brassica napus) on the Canadian prairies. The effects of seeding date, seed size, seeding depth, and seed treatment fungicides on seedling blight of canola caused by Fusarium avenaceum and Pythium ultimum were evaluated under field conditions. In the trials inoculated with P. ultimum, early seeding reduced seedling emergence and seed yield in all 3 yr of the study. However, the interaction of F. avenaceum with seeding date was not consistent; inoculation with F. avenaceum reduced seedling emergence in early seeded canola in 1 of 4 yr, but emergence was higher in early than in mid-seeded treatments in 2 yr and there was no difference among seeding dates in 1 yr. Late seeding reduced seed yield in 2 of 4 yr in the F. avenaceum study. Seed size and seeding depth generally did not have an effect on seedling establishment or seed yield for either pathogen. Seed treatment with Helix Xtra (thiamethoxam+difenconazole+metalaxyl+fludioxonil) and Prosper FX (clothianidin+carboxin+trifloxystrobin+metalaxyl) fungicides increased seedling emergence and yield compared with the F. avenaceum-inoculated control. Seed treatment with Helix Xtra also increased seedling emergence and seed yield compared with the P. ultimum-inoculated control. Manipulation of seeding date did not substantially improve stand establishment or yield of canola when inoculum pressure was high. Seed treatment was the most effective strategy for reducing losses caused by seedling blight of canola in fields infested with F. avenaceum or P. ultimum.

Laboratory and field trials were conducted to determine the extent of the genetic variation among 134 Russian wild ryegrass (Elymus junceus Fisch.) progeny lines for characters related to stand establishment under semiarid conditions. Progenies were evaluated in the laboratory for seedling emergence and subsequent vigor using a 7.6-cm planting depth, seedling emergence under controlled soil moisture stress, and seedling recovery after exposure to drought. Significant genetic variation was detected for emergence, seedling vigor, and stand establishment in the field and for all measurements made in the laboratory except seedling recovery after drought. The genetic variance comprised from 50 to 60% of the total phenotypic variance in most instances. Emergence and subsequent seedling vigor from a 7.6 cm planting depth were the most closely related to data collected in the field (r = 0.17–0.33**). Results from the other laboratory trials were not significantly correlated with field performance.

The objective of this study was to ascertain if stand establishment of sh2 sweet corn (Zea mays L.) would benefit from variable planting depths determined by the use of geographic information systems (GIS). Spring and fall research plots were established in a field [80 × 20 m (262 × 66 ft)] containing Crosby silt loam and Kokomo silty clay loam soil series in Columbus, Ohio. Three sh2 sweet corn cultivars (Starship, Skyline, and Confection) were planted at three depths on the two soil types in the fall study, with an additional transition soil added in the spring. Emergence counts as well as soil moisture and temperature were monitored. In the spring, sites were also sampled for nutrient levels and soil compaction. Significant variability was found within the field with respect to soil moisture, temperature, nutrient levels, and compaction. Seedling emergence fluctuated with average soil moisture increasing in blocks with up to 24% moisture and then leveling off. Daily minimum soil temperatures impacted stand establishment. Although heat units accumulated faster on the Crosby soil, emergence was slower and less complete on these soil series than on Kokomo soil series. Further investigation determined that although temperatures of the Crosby soil were 3 to 4.5 °C (5.4 to 8.1 °F) warmer during the day than the Kokomo soil, temperatures on the Crosby soil averaged 2 °C (3.6 °F) cooler at night. Analysis of emergence patterns and field variability was performed on ArcView mapping software. Although `Skyline' planted at 2 cm (0.8 inches) had the best emergence overall, final stand would have been increased with `Skyline' planted variably at 2 and 4 cm (1.6 inches). Mapping the field under these different scenarios showed that although area with less than 70% stand would exist with a 2-cm uniform planting depth, the entire field would have a stand of 70% or greater with variable planting depth using a high vigor seedlot.
