Classes of seedborne microorganisms
1. Infected seed = primary inoculum source. If seed infection is controlled, the disease is controlled
3. Important crop pathogen, but infected seed = minor source of inoculum
5. Seedborne microorganisms never demonstrated to cause disease
7. Pathogens that infect seed in fields or in storage, and reduce seed quality

Geographical location• continental level: grow seed crops in environments unfavorable for disease
- bean seed in ID & CA to avoid bacterial blights & anthracnose
- pea seed ID, WA, CA to avoid Pseudomonas pisi & Ascochyta blight
- crucifer seed in WA to avoid blackleg & black rot
- sweet corn seed in ID & WA to avoid Fusarium ear rots
• local level: avoid frost pockets, areas prone to fogs or dews

Disease management in seed crops:Chemical applications & seed treatment
• organic & biological materials- e.g., sulfurs, coppers, Serenade, AQ10, Contans, … - 2002 Plant Health Progress article by McSpadden Gardener and Fravel- consistency, niche environments?- potential phytotoxicity
• natural plant products- oils, plant extracts, compost teas, …- reliability, consistency?

Methods of seed treatment
• physical• chemical
• biological
![Page 30: Diseases in Vegetable Seed Crops](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020106/55a3563b1a28ab1f248b4713/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Physical seed treatments• hot water
- kill pathogens, not damage seed- Phoma lingam and Xanthomonas
campestris pv. campestris on cabbage seed exposed to hot water at 50C for 30 minutes • hot dry air • aerated steam• microwaves• others, e.g., cathode rays, ultrasound
![Page 31: Diseases in Vegetable Seed Crops](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020106/55a3563b1a28ab1f248b4713/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Chemical seed treatments• chlorine = surface disinfestation
e.g., Xanthomonas campestris pv. carotae on carrot seed
• fungicides – various products, but few qualify for organic production• insecticide seed treatments for vector control (e.g., Gaucho), but few organic
Biological seed treatments• problems with consistency, few available• e.g.- Bacillus subtilis = Kodiak, HiStick N/T
- Burkholderia cepacia = Deny

Disease management during harvest, storage & conditioning of
seed
• adjustment & manipulation of equipment to remove pathogen structures from seed lots (sclerotia, teliospores, etc.)
• controlled storage conditions to avoid development of storage molds
![Page 34: Diseases in Vegetable Seed Crops](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020106/55a3563b1a28ab1f248b4713/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Disease management practices in production crops
• cultural practices to minimize impact of seed- or soilborne pathogens
• seed treatments to minimize transmission of pathogens
• test seed to ensure infection levels lower than inoculum threshold that can
cause disease
![Page 35: Diseases in Vegetable Seed Crops](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020106/55a3563b1a28ab1f248b4713/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• suitable seed health assay• incidence of infection on seeds correlated with
plant infection• inoculum thresholds established by appropriate
statistical analysis, e.g.:- X. campestris pv. campestris of
crucifers- X. campestris pv. carotae on carrots in CA- lettuce mosaic virus
Criteria for development/use of inoculum thresholds for seedborne
pathogens
![Page 36: Diseases in Vegetable Seed Crops](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020106/55a3563b1a28ab1f248b4713/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Methods for seed health testing• field inspections• direct visual examination• incubation• grow-out• indicator tests• serological• DNA hybridization
Reasons for seed health testing• determine whether infection is below threshold• for quarantine or phytosanitary certification• to determine plant stand/health

Management of Botrytis in onion seed crops
• pathogen-free seed, treated seed• fungicides seed treatment (hot water, Thiram, Rovral, chlorine) foliar sprays (e.g., Rovral, Bravo, Switch) new fungicides (Serenade, Switch, Pristine, Endura,
Botran, …)
• “healthy” crop• sanitation (volunteers, culls, debris)• rotation & isolation from other Allium crops• well-dried umbels <harvest, artificial drying

Tools & techniques for diagnosis ofvirus diseases
• symptoms• signs
• virus inclusion bodies - light microscopy• virions - electron microscopy
• host range studies• vector transmission evaluations• local lesion assays• biochemical/physical tests• immunological assays – ELISA, immunogold labeling, …• molecular (DNA or RNA) assays – PCR
