3.4 Treatment Method

Method Plastic bag seed treatment
Seed Batch Size 1 kg
Slurry Volume 1000 mL/100 kg seed
Diluent Water

Treatments were diluted with water to form a slurry in a total volume of 1000 mL/100 kg seed,
which equated to 1 kg seed in 10 mL of slurry.

The seed treatment application was carried out in a sealed plastic bag. The slurry/seed mixture
was agitated vigorously to ensure even coverage of all seed. The same methodology was used
for all batches of seed with agitation occurring for the same length of time. Seed was allowed to
dry prior to being packaged for planting.

Two, 1 kg batches of seed were sequentially treated for each treatment. The first seed batch used
to prime the bag and was discarded. The second batch was dried and racked ready to be used in
the trial.
