Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、イネ種子伝染性病害の防除方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から、イネ種子消毒方法として浸種前や浸種後の種子浸漬処理や種子吹き付け処理または種子塗抹処理が多く用いられている。これらの種子処理方法によりイネ種子伝染性病の発病を未然に防除し、水稲栽培に大きく寄与してきている。しかし、近年、環境汚染の問題から浸漬処理に用いた薬剤調製液の廃液処理問題が浮上してきている。その対策として、各種高分子凝集剤や活性炭等を利用した廃液の凝集処理方法が開発されてきている。また、それらの処理を行う種子消毒廃液処理方法及び装置も考案されている(たとえば、特許文献1参照。)。しかし、これらの処理方法は、特別な薬剤や装置が必要となる欠点が挙げられる。
また、廃液処理が出ない種子処理方法として、種子粉衣及び種子塗抹処理が知られている。しかし、これらの処理方法は特別な機械が必要であったり、乾燥工程が必要であったりと、処理工程が複雑である欠点が挙げられる。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、かかる実状に鑑みてなされたものであり、廃水処理問題がなく、効力にばらつきが少なく、かつ高い効果を有するイネ種子伝染性病害の防除方法を提供することを課題とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の課題を解決するため、本発明者らは廃液処理問題がなく、また、一連の作業の中で簡便にかつ高い効果を有するイネ種子伝染性病害の防除方法を検討した。
【0006】
その結果、イネ種子を播種した後、播種したイネ種子に薬液を散布処理することにより従来の処理方法に比べ少ない投下薬量でイネ種子伝染性病の発病を安定的にかつ効率よく防除できることを見出した。
【0007】
具体的には、従来の方法で浸種し、催芽処理したイネの種子を育苗箱に播種し、播種後、イネ種子処理農薬の薬液を散布処理する。散布タイミングは、覆土前,覆土後どちらでも良いが、覆土前の散布処理の方が高い効果が期待できる。この処理方法を採ることにより、浸種処理後の廃液問題が解決でき、かつ、一連の流れ作業のなかでイネ種子伝染性病害を防除することができる。
【0008】
すなわち、本発明は、イネ種子消毒剤の環境上の問題点を解決したイネ種子処理方法を提供する。

【0012】
本発明の散布液濃度には特に制限はないが、各種薬剤は、低濃度長時間(24時間)浸漬処理に使用する濃度以下でよい。
【0013】
散布水量は、播種したイネ種子に十分かかる量であれば特に制限はないが、好ましくは、育苗箱(30×60×3cm 土壌約5リットル)あたり50〜500ml、さらに好ましくは50〜200mlの範囲である。
【0014】

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for controlling rice seed-borne diseases.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a rice seed disinfection method, seed soaking treatment, seed spraying treatment, or seed smearing treatment before or after soaking is often used. These seed treatment methods have been used to control the emergence of rice seed infectious diseases, and have greatly contributed to rice cultivation. However, in recent years, the problem of treating the waste liquid of the chemical preparation used for the immersion treatment has emerged due to the problem of environmental pollution. As a countermeasure, a flocculation treatment method for waste liquid using various polymer flocculants, activated carbon and the like has been developed. Also, a method and apparatus for treating seed disinfecting waste liquid that perform such treatment have been devised (for example, see Patent Document 1). However, these processing methods have the drawback that special chemicals and equipment are required.
Also, seed dressing and seed smearing are known as seed treatment methods that do not produce waste liquid treatment. However, these processing methods have drawbacks in that the processing steps are complicated, such as the necessity of a special machine or the drying step.

In the following Examples and Comparative Examples, commercially available Sportac (prochloraz) emulsion and Techlead C (ipconazole + cupric hydroxide) flowable agent were used.
[0017]
A) Rice baka seedling disease control effect test (Example 1)
Prochloraz emulsion (Sporttac 25.0% emulsion: Nissan Chemical Industries) was used. Rice seeds were immersed and germinated in a usual manner and sown on Ube granular soil. Prior to soil covering, a 1000-fold diluted prochloraz emulsion was sprayed uniformly by hand spraying. The spraying liquid volume was 100 ml per nursery box.
[0018]
(Comparative Example 1)
As a comparative example, rice seeds were immersed in a 1000-fold diluted solution of the prochloraz emulsion used in Example 1 at 15 ° C. for 24 hours. After the treatment, the rice seeds were immersed in tap water at an integrated temperature of 100 ° C. as a guide, and then germinated at 30 ° C. for one day. After sowing, the seedlings were germinated at 30 ° C. for 2 days and then raised in a greenhouse. In the non-treated section, the same operation as in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 was performed except that the chemical treatment was not performed.
[0019]
(Example 2)
Ipconazole + cupric hydroxide flowable agent (Techlead C5.0 + 4.6% flowable agent: Kumiai Chemical Industry) was used. By a conventional method, 150 g of rice seeds were immersed and germinated, and sown on Ube granular soil. Before covering the soil, a 200-fold diluted chemical solution of ipconazole + a cupric hydroxide flowable agent was evenly sprayed with a hand spray. The spraying liquid volume was 100 ml per nursery box.
[0020]
(Comparative Example 2)
As a comparative example, 150 g of rice seeds was immersed in 300 ml of a 200-fold diluted solution of ipconazole + cupric hydroxide flowable agent used in Example 2 at 15 ° C for 24 hours. After the treatment, the rice seeds were immersed in tap water at an integrated temperature of 100 ° C. as a guide, and then germinated at 30 ° C. for 1 day. After sowing, the seedlings were seeded at 30 ° C. for 2 days, and then raised in a greenhouse. In the case of no treatment, the same operation as in Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 was performed except that no chemical treatment was performed.
[0021]
Survey method)
When the rice seedlings reached the 2-3 leaf stage, the incidence of rice stunt seedling disease was investigated according to the following criteria. The results are shown in Table 1.
Rate of rice birch seedling disease-causing seedlings (%) = (number of seedlings / (number of seedlings + number of healthy seedlings)) × 100
[0022]
Example results)
Tables show the experimental results of the examples and the comparative examples. In Example 1, as in the test example of Comparative Example 1, a high control value was obtained against rice blight seedling disease. Also, as shown in Comparative Example 2, even when a high control value was not obtained by the normal soaking treatment method, a high control value was obtained by the spraying method at the time of sowing of Example 2. Was. From these test results, it was shown that the spraying method at the time of sowing is an effective and promising processing method.
