Abstract

Treating seeds is becoming more and more important way of pest control in seeds
and young plants. In order to assure satisfying results for pest control the seeds
treatment must be of high quality. Quality of seeds treatment depends on seeds quality, treatment product characteristics, treatment recipe, treatment equipment, human factor
etc.
Having experience and knowledge on seeds treatment Bayer CropScience was first
to begin with Product Stewardship activities (tracking the plant protection product from
its production to final use). These activities have been welcome by seeds treatment
companies and results of cooperation with Bayer CropScience are already visible. They
also contribute to minimize exposure of workers and to protect environment.
By Commission Directive 2010/21/EU of 12 March 2010 modification of vacuum
sowing machines and dust testing of treated corn with insecticide is mandatory in all EU
members.
