The treatment of forage seeds with fungicides aims to protect the seeds against storage and soil fungi. Experiments indicate that in some cases, fungicide treatment can result in a 10% difference in the quantity of germinated seeds.
In practice, the application of fungicide can ensure better and faster establishment of the area. The most common fungi that can attack and harm seeds are Pythium and Fusarium. For seed treatment, Matsuda uses products registered for pastures.
