- Abstract
Pea (Pisum sativum) is an economically important legume crop, cultivated worldwide due to its high nutritional value and diverse culinary applications. However, like any agricultural crop, peas are vulnerable to various biotic and abiotic stresses, including fungal infection. The present paper deals with a study to identify the mycoflora associated with pea seed. The seed borne mycoflora of pea was examined by agar plate method, blotter method and Deep freezing blotter paper method. A total 17 species of fungi viz. Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus candidus, Curvularia sp., Penicillium expansum, Mucor spp., Rhizopus nigricans, Rhizophus stolnifer, Fusarium monliforme, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani, Stemphylium sp., Trichoderma harzianum and some unidentified species were reported. Among the method used for detection of seed borne fungi, the standard blotter paper method is more effective followed by agar plate method and deep freeze blotter paper method.
