- Association Merkur seeds were significantly less infested by the broadbean seed beetle than Boxer and Laura seeds.
- Association The larval survival rate in Merkur seeds was similar to that in Laura seeds.
- Association The larval survival rate in Merkur seeds was higher than in Boxer seeds.
- Association Without additional plant protection measures, the percentage of seeds damaged by the broadbean seed beetle can significantly exceed the maximum limit of 3% in the buyers’ quality criteria.
- Association Merkur, evaluated from a practical point of view, does not differ from the other two varieties.
