Oat and Barley Seed Treating Important This Year
Extension plant pathologist John L. Weihing of the University of Nebraska urges treating oats and barley seed before spring planting. Seed treatment protects against soil-borne seed rot and disinfects, boosting germination especially after last summer's wet weather. The practice forms a protective armor to prevent parasites from rotting seeds and helps establish a vigorous seedling stand. Smut is the most common seedborne disease in Nebraska small grains.

Seed treatment chemicals for smut control in oats and barley
The article notes that seed treatment effectively controls loose and covered smut in oats, while barley seed treatment controls only covered smut and is ineffective against loose smut. It warns of barley scab on seed, describes its effects, and lists recommended chemicals Cerezan M and Agrox as superior seed treatments, with copper sulfate Arasan Spergon Phyrgon and formaldehyde as less effective but useful for other crops. It stresses following container rates, cleaning trashy seed, and treating at least 24 hours before planting, preferably 48 hours.
