Abstract:
The results of experimental investigations, conducted during 2001-2003 at the
Agricultural Research and Development Station of Podu-Iloaiei, on the behavior of the Oana
maize hybrid, treated with insectofungicides, for the prevention and diminution of the attack of
pests and pathogens during plant sprouting and vegetation, have shown that the products used
for seed treatment, before sowing, ensured a good plant germination, sprouting and
development. The attack of Agriotes spp. was much diminished in the variants treated with
insecticides (F%=0-0.6) and in the ones where insectofungicides were used (F%=0-0.7). At
the fungicide-treated variant, the attack was greater (5.4%-7.4%). Under conditions of using
insectofungicides, the attack of pathogenic agents (Drechslera turcica and Gibberella roseum)
has registered the lowest values (F%=1.1, respectively, 2.4).
