Abstract

Studies on seed borne Colletotrichum dematium in horse gram revealed that the infection could reach all parts of the horsegram seed with varied levels of intensity. Seed coat infection was highest (100%) followed by cotyledonary (72%), and embryo infection (30%), at the end of 7th day of incubation. The seed to seedling transmission of the pathogen was observed in the form of poor germination, seed rot and seedling decay.
