Chemical means - pesticides ( fungicides , bactericides, insecticides ) used to treat seeds in order to protect them from damage by fungi , bacteria and damage from pests that live in the soil. Treatants include granosan , mercuron , hexachlorobenzene , formalin and some others.
Bioprotective agents are microbiological inoculants for seeds containing microorganisms that have an antagonistic effect against phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria. Pre-sowing seed treatment with bio-dressers improves the sowing quality of seeds (germination energy, germination), reduces infection by diseases and stimulates the growth of shoots and root system [1] .
