Abstract

An experiment was carried out on different genotypes to assess the severity of grain mold of sorghum at different seed developmental stages. Weekly observations on incidence of grain mold and association of grain mold fungi were recorded from flowering to maturity stages. Initiation of grain mold was observed at flowering stage in all sorghum genotypes. Out of six different sorghum genotypes, highest incidence and association of grain mold fungi were observed at the maturity stage of CSH-14 sorghum.
