“…Fungi constitute the largest group of seed-borne pathogens (Özer and Coşkuntuna 2016). Many fungal pathogens infect seeds during the development and maturation stages reducing seed yield and quality by limiting or inhibiting germination and seedling emergence (Bailly et al 2019).…”

Seed coating is an effective method for delivering beneficial microorganisms to the soil, additionally, coated seeds are protected against pathogens or microbial contaminants during storage. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of seed coating with the beneficial fungus Trichoderma koningiopsis against fungal contaminants of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) during storage. Sorghum-treated seeds with three concentration of Trichoderma koningiopsis were stored at two temperatures (5°C and 18°C) over 12 months to evaluate physiological-, and sanitary quality of seeds. The concentrations of the most prevalent contaminant fungi Diaporthe melonis, Curvularia lunata and Penicillium polinocum were monitored. The viability of Trichoderma koningiopsis over seeds was evaluated every three months and correlated with the seed quality variables. The results indicate that beneficial fungi can protect seed against fungal contamination during storage avoiding the application of a chemical fungicide. The coating procedure did not affect the seed germination over the 12 months of storage.

“…All of these pathogens that are responsible for the main diseases on cucurbits can be carried on seeds. This association between seeds and pathogens is an important means for the pathogens to spread on a large scale and a way to guarantee their survival in nature [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Seedborne pathogens can limit the production of many crops and can result in severe economic losses to growers [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

Essential oils are gaining interest as environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic fungicides for management of seedborne pathogens. Here, seven essential oils were initially tested in vivo for disinfection of squash seeds (Cucurbita maxima) naturally contaminated by Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium fujikuro, Fusarium solani, Paramyrothecium roridum, Albifimbria verrucaria, Curvularia spicifera, and Rhizopus stolonifer. The seeds were treated with essential oils from Cymbopogon citratus, Lavandula dentata, Lavandula hybrida, Melaleuca alternifolia, Laurus nobilis, and Origanum majorana (#1 and #2). Incidence of S. cucurbitacearum was reduced, representing a range between 67.0% in L. nobilis to 84.4% in O. majorana #2. Treatments at 0.5 mg/mL essential oils did not affect seed germination, although radicles were shorter than controls, except with C. citratus and O. majorana #1 essential oils. Four days after seeding, seedling emergence was 20%, 30%, and 10% for control seeds and seeds treated with C. citratus essential oil (0.5 mg/mL) and fungicides (25 g/L difenoconazole plus 25 g/L fludioxonil). S. cucurbitacearum incidence was reduced by ~40% for plantlets from seeds treated with C. citratus essential oil. These data show the effectiveness of this essential oil to control the transmission of S. cucurbitacearum from seeds to plantlets, and thus define their potential use for seed decontamination in integrated pest management and organic agriculture.
