Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out in the Department of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, I.G.K.V., Raipur (C.G) during the year 2020-21. Six varieties of soybean seed samples viz.JS 95-60, JS 97-52, RSC 10-46, RSC 10-71, CG Soya-1 and local variety were selected for experiment. Seed borne fungi can cause distortions, discoloration, spotting, shrinking and disease of seeds which were visible by the naked eyes which were directly concern to the farmers. Categorized the seeds on healthy seeds, discolored seeds, undersized seeds, damaged seeds, plant parts, inert matter, weed seeds, other crop seeds, fraction such as soil, sand, stones, malformations and fungal bodies etc.
Among the studied, RSC 10-46 variety had maximum purity as compared to other soybean varieties while the local variety showed minimum purity. Washing test was also performed. the maximum spore load was found in the seed lot of local variety i.e., (20x10-2) and minimum spore load was found in variety CG Soya-1 (9 x10-2).
