Tomato: Seed treatment for organic agriculture
Harmful seed-borne plant pathogens (present in/on the seed) can be the source of infection on the crops that originated from infected seeds. The use of healthy seed is therefore a very important tool for the success of the crop. Seed treatments aim to reduce/inactivate the inoculum of seed-borne pathogens or indirectly improve plant defence responses using a mechanism known as biopriming.
