Abstract

Seed  mycoflora  of  three  varieties   susceptible   to   Banded   leaf   and   Sheath   blight   disease   of   maize   was isolated  from  fresh  harvest  of  2007   following   agar  plate   method.   The   results   indicated   the   presence   of fifteen species belonging to eleven genera. Highest  percentage  of  Aspergillus  niger  was  recorded  in  all  tested varieties.  The  effect  of  dominant  fungi   on   seed   germination,   seedling   growth,   and  their   fresh   and   dry weight  and  vigour  index  was  recorded.  It  showed  that  highest  (94%)   percent   of   seed   germination   was observed in control.
