Chlorine treatment of seeds AKA Georgia treatment 
is to kill seed borne bacteria. The effect of chlorine is
gone as soon as it evaporates.

Thiram also does not last long enough to control
damp-off. Lost too many cole crops that were thiram
treated. The effect is lost after about 2 weeks from
start of germination. And definately does not stay
with a plant from seed start medium to larger pot.

The only seed company that I know of that does both
chlorine treatment and coats the seeds with thiram
is Stokes Seeds. There maybe others I just haven't found
them yet.
