A differential effect of seed encrustation on germi nation, growth of roots and seedlings depending on the hybrid was revealed. After 12 months of storage, the encrusted seeds showed an increase in overall germination by 2.0-5.5% compared to intact seeds. It has been established that pre-sowing encrustation of maize seeds with a bio conjugate containing the genistifoliosides, biologically active substances of natural origin, and a film-forming agent (sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose) helps to preserve the sowing qualities of seeds during long-term storage and improves the biometric parameters of germinated seeds.encarboxymethyl celluloseencrustationgenistifoliosidesArticle
