Result description
Experimental ageing and storage trials with Alfalfa seeds (Medicago sativa) coated with Rhizobium and Bacillus – investigation of a novel method to analyse the effect of storage and seed treatments on biological shelf lives.
Only little is known about ageing and storage effects on the vitality of biologicals. The project targeted the development of a novel ageing method to evaluate storage effects on biologicals in different seed treatments. The findings indicate that the applied ageing method can be used to estimate storage tolerance of biologicals, esp. for Rhizobia, while Bacillus is more tolerant against ageing.

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
10 seed treatments were developed (controls without biologicals, different coating variants and treatments with Bacillus or/and Rhizobia). 5 storage treatments for various durations were conducted. Samples tested for biological viability by live germ count and nodulation by Rhizobia were also tested in Vitro. To ensure seed quality, germination rates of treated seeds were determined.
