Phyto-examination helps to maintain productivity and germination. After conducting this kind of analysis, experts give a conclusion about the suitability of seeds and soil for sowing.
- Seed culture and reproduction. This is the possibility of elite seeds for annual reseeding, in which the quality of a particular variety is preserved from generation to generation.
- The level of action of the dressing preparations is different, therefore, such a tool is selected depending on the characteristics of the soil, the power of the concentrate and the number of seeds.

All you need to know about protectants
Seed dressers can be single-component and multi-component. The difference is only in the composition. If you take into use single-component seed dressers for cereal crops, then you should not count on wide fungicidal activity. Such products are not suitable for treating large quantities of seeds.

Such funds are used in the fight against bacteria of grain crops. The seeds are treated in a special machine designed specifically for this purpose. In such a machine there is a special tank in which a solution is prepared and then the seeds are loaded there for processing. Before this, such an aggregate calibrates the seeds and gets rid of the non-standard seed. It is also possible to use such processing at the stage of plant vegetation.
Do this by spraying funds from special machines. Such processing takes place only in cloudy weather - either in the morning or in the evening. To calculate how much the drug needs, take into account the area that needs to be sown and the amount of seed. Also, such tools are used to treat crops from which oil is obtained.
