It's suggested to add a fungicide when using stratification to prepare seeds. Just wondering which fungicide others are using & what would be recommended.
Cheers

Re: Stratification: which fungicide?
Hi drac0,
i recently stratified some apple seeds using a coir seed raising mix, i have also heard,of people,using sphagnum moss for this. These substrates have their own anti fungal properties. I forgot,about them in my fridge and checked them by chance a month or so later, the coir held the moisture, there was no fungal outbreak and all seeds had germinated.
I'll leave it for,others to suggest chemical antifungal agents.
cheers,
Jabobo
