“…Radioactive irradiation has also in a few cases been reported to be successful (Cuero et al, 1986;Bagegni et al, 1990), but has not been widely used because exposures sufficient to control pathogens often also kill the seeds. Different types of electromagnetic radiation such as gamma ray (Harwalkar et al, 1995), high energy electrons (Sitton et al, 1995), ultrasonic radiation (Nagy et al, 1995), microwave (Stephenson, et al, 1996;Anna Aladjadjiyan, 2010) and UV radiation (Gupta and Chaturvedi, 1987;Bhaskara Reddy et al, 1995Therdetskaya and Levashenko, 1996) have been used as alternative seed treatment agents for management of microbial infestations. Inactivation or control of microorganisms and insect pests by gamma irradiation on various plant products have been reported (Rao et al, 1994 andSinha et al, 1994).…”

Abstract:Seed treatment refers to the application of certain agents physical, chemical or biological to the seed prior to sowing in order to suppress, control or repel pathogens, insects and other pests that attack seeds, seedlings or plants and it ranges from a basic dressing to coating and pelleting. Introduction and ban of arsenic (used from 1740 until 1808) is the key milestones in the history of modern seed treatment till then a continuous research and advancement in this technology is going on. The technological advancement prepared a roadmap for refining existing seed treatment technologies and future work on technologies like fluid drilling as a way to sow germinated seeds where gel can also serve as a delivery system for other materials, seed priming advances the early phase of germination without redicle emergence. Another advanced technology, solid matrix priming (SMP) has been evaluated as a means to advances the germination of seeds and serve as a carrier for useful material too. Physical and biological seed treatments alone an alternative to chemicals or in combination with a chemical treatment are being used worldwide because of their environmental safety and socioeconomic aspects. Biological seed treatments are expected to be one of the fastest growing seed treatment sectors in the near future, in part because they are easier to register at Environment Protection Agency (EPA). Lack of awareness to seed treatments at farmer's level is one of the limiting factors in disease management and hence, efforts should be made at farmer's level to adopt the technology. Keeping the all above facts in mind, selected seed treatment technologies with their improvement and significance will be discussed in this review.

“…Irradiation [4][5][6], drug fumigation [7,8], and heat sterilization [9] are current common methods used to treat TCK-infected produce. However, the irradiation method has not been widely used due to the limited penetration capability of the electron beam and the influence of device flexibility.…”

Tilletia controversa Kühn (TCK) has strong infectivity and viability and may cause great cut hazard to wheat and other crops. Composting treatment of TCK-infected wheat waste may be an effective method to eliminate the further contamination. This study applied microbial fermentation composting technique using mixed crop straws and manure to establish a bio-friendly composting method. The change of physicochemical properties of the compost was monitored regularly to detect the time course of TCK degradation and confirm the inactivation of TCK germination activity. The results of regular sampling indicate that the germination rate of TCK declines with the composting progress, and composting ten days under the condition of 50˚C to 60˚C completely inactivates the germination ability of TCK. Thus the present study provides a bio-friendly composting method for degrading TCK-infected wheat crops under TCK outbreak.

Various medicinal plants are threatened with extinction owing to their over-exploitation and the prevalence of soil borne pathogens. In this study, soils infected with root-rot pathogens, which prevent continuous-cropping, were treated with an electron beam. The level of soil-borne fungus was reduced to ≤0.01% by soil electron beam treatment without appreciable effects on the levels of antagonistic microorganism or on the physicochemical properties of the soil. The survival rate of 4-year-old plant was higher in electron beam-treated soil (81.0%) than in fumigated (62.5%), virgin (78%), or untreated-replanting soil (0%). Additionally, under various soils conditions, neutron tomography permitted the monitoring of plant health and the detection of root pathological changes over a period of 4–6 years by quantitatively measuring root water content in situ. These methods allow continual cropping on the same soil without pesticide treatment. This is a major step toward the environmentally friendly production of endangered therapeutic herbs.
