Objective
Due to the difficulty in organic farming of producing pathogen free seeds, and the lack of simple, effective non-chemical methods for seed sanitation, a substantial part of the seed used by European organic vegetable growers is still derived from conventional production. This will not be allowed after the year 2003 (EU Council regulation 2092/91). In the project two new physical seed treatment methods will be tested in relation to the traditional method of hot water treatment. Agents of natural origin acceptable to organic farming will be evaluated and combined with the physical methods. This will be complemented by studies on physiological factors determining seed sensitivity, which is in many cases limiting the application of physical seed treatments. The aim of the project is to improve the currently available, non-chemical methods for control of seed-borne vegetable pathogens and to develop new methods acceptable to organic farming.
