The aim of this controlled environment experiment was to investigate the benefit lentil producers might observe from the use of a suitable seed treatment where F. avenaceum is known to be present.
• An experimental seed treatment was observed to control some negative effects, including seedling survival (%), caused by Fusarium avenaceum (fusarium root rot) in lentil.
• Rhizobia growth in lentil was not affected by the presence of an experimental seed treatment.
• Further research on lentil is required to understand the interaction between the experimental seed treatment, fusarium root rot and rhizobia strain.
• The seed treatment used in this experiment is not registered for use in lentils or for the control of fusarium root rot and was used for experimental purposes only
