Dear colleagues,
pathogenicity test needs seed clear from pathogen ; but they are mostly not available, so we some times use dusting seeds.
Hi: Most the seed fungicide treatment is systemic fungicide, I don recommend to use this source of seed for pathogenicity test. It will still have remained fungicide inside the seed tissue.
Dear Dr. Ali Merjan.
You can use local seeds , or you must wash the dusted seeds carefully for long timebefor the pathogenecity testing.
Best regards
HiDr. Ali
You can put in distilled water for 1-2 day may reduce the fungicide concentration
Thank you my dear Colleagues it is nice to be attached with you all

I think, to avoid fungicides you have to wash the seeds with sterilized water intermittently. It would not harm the seeds as well.
Thank you Dr. Rekha Arya and Dr.Aqleem Abbas for your respone
best regards for all
Dear Dr.
I recommend you to avoid usind seeds treated with fungicides, in particular the systemic one. It is not easy to remove internal fungicide residual. but as Aqleem Abbas said , you can reduce the proportion of fungicides by washing intermittently with water.
Good luck
Dear Dr,
I do not think you can get rid of fungicide from seeds, especially if they are systemic fungicide as Dr. Jawad explained. However, if your fungicide is not systemic (on surface) , you could get rid of it by utilizing distilled water through washing many times...
Kind regards
