Abstract

Antifungal activity of nine seed dressing fungicides were evaluated against Aspergillus niger, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. pisi, Macrophomina phaseolina and Rhizoctonia solani of pea by using poisoned food, seed inoculation and seed rolled techniques. Bavistin and tilt were effective against these mycoflora resulting in increased germination and seedling vigour of pea.
