Abstract
(...) As chemicals that show slight phytotoxic effects in the laboratory or the greenhouse tests may result in high yields because of their excellent control of pests or diseases, it is suggested that screening for phytotoxicity always should be carried out in the field. The prescribed germination substrate (sand) for the standard germination test for field beans may not be as optimal for treated seeds as it is for untreated ones. It seems advisable to study the consequences of seed treatments for germination test procedures in more detail
