Abstract:
In the present investigation five seed samples viz., AKT-101, GT-10, JLT-408, N-8, PKV NT-11 were tested to detect the association of seed borne mycoflora by standard blotter paper method, pre-treatment blotter method and agar plate method at department of Plant Pathology College of Agriculture, Nagpur. From the present study it was revealed that six fungal species associated with sesamum varieties viz., Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Alternaria alternata, Curvularia lunata and Cladosporium spp. Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus flavus is most associative fungus with all varites. Standard blotter paper method was found superior method of detection of seed borne mycoflora of sesamum.
