Stanovení mikroflóry osiva vybraných druhů zeleniny a možnosti ochrany

The aim of this diploma thesis is assessing the determination and evaluation of pathogens species spectrum in carrot (Daucus carota), parsley (Petroselinum crispum) and pepper (Capsicum annum) seeds. The microflora was determined in laboratory conditions. The surface disinfected seeds and non-disinfected seeds were cultivated on culture medium PDA and filter paper. The level of bacterial and yeast contamination was low. The major part of pathogenswere fungi pathogens. The most often found pathogens were species from Alternaria and Cladosporium genus. The species spectrum was not different between individual varieties of carrot, parsley and pepper. In most cases, non-disinfected seeds had significantly higher amount of pathogens than the disinfected seeds
