Method for assessing disease resistance of cotton seeds

Abstract

The invention relates to agricultural production, in particular to a method for evaluating technologies for treating fibrous cotton seeds against disease, and can also be used to create methods for evaluating technologies for treating seeds of other agricultural plants. The essence of the invention is that in the method of assessing the resistance of cotton plants to disease, which consists in cultivating seed materials in an area artificially infected with the pathogen and isolated with polyethylene coating, fibrous cotton plants, on whose outer surfaces a thin coating is created by sequentially applying starch and fungicide and / or fungicide and starch solutions, are cultivated in an artificially infected area.
