1996 Seed Treatment Evaluations

Abstract

Cottonseed was treated with several fungicide treatments in an effort to protect the seed and seedling from disease. Seed germination and vigor was evaluated in two Arizona locations; Maricopa and Marana. Stand counts were taken on two separate dates after emergence at both Maricopa and Marana and percent emergence was calculated. Significant differences in percent emergence due to treatment were observed in the first sample date at Marana with the treatment combination of NuFlow ND and Maxim having the highest percent emergence. Results from the second sample date at Marana were statistically significant but similar treatment ranking was observed. Results at Maricopa showed no statistically significant differences due to treatment for either sample date.
