Abstract
Preserving the crops seeds is very important procedure to the farmers and breeders. Because it’s
reducing the contamination of these seeds with the aflatoxin during the post and pre harvest the crops.
The Current study was carried out in October 2019, in the crop production department, Agricultural
research center in Sulaymaniyah province. Fifteen Kg of local wheat (Slemani) was provided from
the crop science department. Five levels of garlic powder was used (0, 2, 5, 10, 15)% to find suitable
concentration during the storage seed. The samples were taken for in three times (1 day, 6 months,
and 18 months) to test the seed contamination with toxins and calculate the seed germination. Our
result show there is significant effect (p<0.05) of adding garlic powder with 15 concentrations on the
T2 toxin. In conclusion its possible to use the garlic powder with 15% for reducing the effect of toxin
in storage wheat seeds.
