Abstract

In order to increase plant establishment in the field, the simultaneous application of pesticides and biological agents on seed coating of sugar beet was evaluated. Two insecticides namely Gaucho and Cruiser, two fungicides called Vitavax and Lamardor and three biological compounds including Probio 96, Biofarm and Trichran were coated on sugar beet seeds of cultivar Sharif in the form of 19 treatments. Treatments were grown in soil contaminated with Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium aphanidermatum, pathogens as well as healthy and uncontaminated soil under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was conducted in split plot based on a completely randomized design with three replications in the greenhouse. Germination percentage, and fresh and dry weight of the plant were measured. Results showed that under Pythium contamination, combination of Biofarm, Vitavax and Cruiser and combination of Probo96, vitavax and Cruiser were superior, and under R. solani contamination, combination of Biofarm, Lamardor and Cruiser were superior. Under uncontaminated soil condition, combination of Biofarm, Lamardor, Cruiser resulted in higher dry weight. Therefore, it seems that the simultaneous combination of Cruiser insecticide, Vitavax and Lamardor fungicides and Biofarm and Probio96 biological agents on sugar beet seed results in increase in germination percentage as well as plant growth.
