Productivity and seed quality of some soybean cultivars as affected by some seed treatments [electronic resource].

Includes references.

A field trial and a laboratory experiment were conducted during 2011 and 2012 seasons at the Experimental Station Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Mansoura University and Seed Technology Research Unit at Mansoura, Dakahlia Governorate, Seed Technology Research Department, Field Crops Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center. The main objective of this research was to study the performance of some soybean cultivars as affected by seed treatments and their effect on seed yield and its attributes as well as quality characteristics. Field experiments were laid out in a split- plot design with four replications. The main plots were occupied with three soybean cultivars i.e. Giza 21, Giza 35 and Giza 111. The sub-plots were assigned to eight seed treatments as follows; 1) Without seed treatment. 2) Treated seed with ascorbic acid. 3) Treated seed with fungicide Vetavax. 4) Treated seed with yeast extract. 5). Treated seed with ascorbic acid beside fungicide Vetavax. 6) Treated seed with ascorbic acid beside yeast extract. 7) Treated seed with fungicide vetavax beside yeast extract. 8) Treated seed with ascorbic acid beside fungicide vetavax and yeast extract. Laboratory experiments were conducted in factorial completely randomized design with four replications.
