Abstract

During the process of swelling pea seeds yielded substances to water which were capable of dissolving the insoluble copper dressings normally applied to the seed to prevent ‘pre‐emergence damping off’. This occurred under conditions in which soil factors were eliminated and irrespective of whether the dressing was on the surface of the seed or treated separately. Copper was readily taken into solution from dried 4:4:50 Bordeaux Mixture by water in which peas had been soaked, a circumstance which proved that the formation of soluble complex forms of copper was involved. A chemical investigation on the solution obtained by soaking peas in water showed that volatile acids or their salts were present together with a protein‐like material in colloidal solution. The occurrence of amino derivatives and other nitrogenous materials as well as carbohydrates was indicated and evidence of the presence of asparagine and citrate was also obtained. The suggestion is made that both the fungicidal and phytocidal actions of insoluble copper dressings on pea seed depend largely on the effect of the pea seed exudates, notably colloidal protein‐like material and certain amino derivatives, in bringing copper into solution.
