Abstract
Five different commercial liquid-insecticide seed dressings containing aldrin and/or heptachlor were applied separately to barley and wheat seed, which was then stored in cartons at outside temperatures for up to a year before seeding in the spring. Germination tests, and comparisons of plant stands and yields of grain in field tests, indicated that storage did not increase phytotoxicity or reduce protection from wireworms. Consequently, liquid-insecticide seed dressings may be applied to sound, dry barley or wheat up to a year before seeding, provided that storage conditions are good. The possible effects, during similar storage, of adding mercury fungicides to the treatments, or of treating damaged or damp seed, are considered.
