Fungi associated with the seeds of eight pulse crops viz., blackgram, gram,
khesari, lentil, mungbean, pea, pigeon pea and soybean collected in 1976 from
Dacca, Jessore and Pabna districts were detected. A total of 34 fungi
representing 23 genera, was recorded. The important pathogenic fungi
encountered were Botryodiplodia theobromae, Botrytis cinerea, Cercospora sp.,
Colletotrichum dematium, C. graminicola, C. lindemuthianum, Fusarium
moniliforme, F. oxysporum. F. solani, Macrophomina phaseolina and Rhizoctonia
solani. Importance of seed health of pulses has been emphasized. [AS]

in Uttar Pradesh. INDIAN PHYTOPATHOLOGY, v-.30(4):582-583. [En] (REP.MB-2090)
Three unreported fungal diseases were observed in mungbean fields in Uttar
Pradesh. Ascotricha chartarum, Colletotrichum truncatum and Fusarium semitectum
were identified as the causal agents. Symptoms induced by these fungi are
described. The fungi are seed-transmitted. [THH]

Seed-borne fungi of blackgram were detected by standard blotter and agar
method. Fungi were Aspergillus niger, Curvularia sp., Fusarium equiseti, F.
oxysporum, Penicillium crustosum and Phoma glomerata. Reduction in seed
germination and seedling vigour resulted from infection with some of these
fungi. [THH]

(REP .MB-2414)
Seeds of blackgram, masoor and moth were found associated with a range of
fungi including some important pathogens. The blotter method proveu better than
the agar and moist sand methods for detecting all the isolated fungi. Some of
the seed borne fungi, viz., the species of Alternaria, Cladosporium,
Macrophomina, and Fusarium on artificial inoculation reduced the vigour and
viability of seeds. Out of the 4 fungicidal seed treatments, none eliminated
the seed borne fungi completely; however, the number of fungi were reduced. [AS]

Quantitative changes in protein, starch and reducing sugars in mungbean
seeds (Vigna radiata var. Pusa Baisakhi) due to fungal flora were recorded.
