Summary: With seed quality parameters (seed health, germination,
physical and other seed characteristics) influence of ecological factors
(climatic conditions and type of soil) and some of menagement practices
(fertilization, using of photodegradable plastics sheets, disease, insects
and weed control, different planting practices, time of harvesting, drying
and seed conditioning, storability) on seed quality of different arable
field Crops are estimated.
Keywords: seed quality, management practices, harvesting, drying and conditioning, field crops
Research goals: With well known seed quality parameters (seed
health, germination, physical, chemical and other seed characteristic)
influence of ecological factors (climatic conditions and type of soil) and
some of management practices (fertilization, using of photodegradable
plastic sheets, disease, insect and weed control, brands selection,
different planting practices, time of harvesting, drying and conditioning)
on seed quality of different arable field crops (brands and genotypes)
are estimated. New potential parameters, their stability and suitability
for estimating seed quality production of new genotipes and brandsare
investigated but in the sense of their genotipic constitution (like pod
walls and seed coat tickness of leguminous crops). Alsovelocity of water
movement thru pods and seeds are estimated. Allthis knowledge could be
usefull in breeding effort for seedquality improvement. Results of
this investigations could be and they arecontribution to better
recognizing a proper agroecological conditions for crops seed production
or rather, in determination of specific brand technology for quality seed
production.
